Personally i loove long manes so my vote is to leave it long and braid it up. For riding i usually just do a running braid and for out in the field or standing around Id do regular braids . Hes gorgeous

I think you should leave it. His mane is so pretty! I wish my horse had a mane like that!

Keep it long- braid it. long manes are lovely.

 

[Golden Horse]

Long for this one, love his mane

I would leave it - if not for optic (I guess tastes are different) then for protection against flies. And isn't it fun for you playing with a long mare?

 

[JustImagine]

Leave it, it looks pretty =]
I personally don't like the look of pulled manes and I do hunters with my horse; luckily, he's an Arab so I don't have to pull it ;]

I think he would look better with a short mane, personally.

I'd trim/pull it just enough to even it out and then let it grow out with periodic trimming to keep it tidy.

Leave it long! I LOVE long manes, personally. I've been working on getting Caly's longer and it's almost as long as this boy's! But not as thick. He really has nice hair!

Long it is then! Here is a funny comparison picture.

When I got him off the track just over a year ago, he had a pulled mane, a half growing out bridle path and some funny little mohawk thing happening!

You leave that mane right where it is. I made a big scene in front of my barn's trainer when I found out she cut about a a foot and a half of her brown tobiano's gorgeous mane so now it's only a few inches. Save the manes! My Fjord is the only one except from my love of free flowing manes. :lol:

Wow, he sure looks better than he did before mane and overall condition. Nice work on your part. I think it's really a matter of personal preference re: pulled vs natural mane. I'm sure he would look fine either way. I have a battle to try and keep some of the horses from nawing of my Paint horse's long mane.

I am all about leaving the very pretty~!

 

[Fulford15]

Leave it long and put it in a running braid before you ride

 

[Cowgirl1997]

I would leave it long,I think it looks really good that way.
My horse has a long mane too but not quite as long as that.

So... something like this might be saddening to you? :twisted:

 

[Goosey]

**** Verona! That was one hell of a mane!

Just gotta say... a horse named Merlin is supposed to have a long mane.
