Olly's crew
Well-Known Member
Hi all, thanks for reading this as you may be able to help me with a few daft queries (I am a rookie at this still).
Olly is a cob, and we are getting a variety of advice at the yard re clipping/ mane pulling/ feather removal.
When we brought Olly his mane was pulled, but imo a bit over zealously, which we allowed to grow out. He now has a much longer mane, which I like, though the length is uneven. Also he has his feathers.
So..... do we pull his mane to even the length, or do you think we should aim for much shorter?
Do you think he would be better off with his feathers removed, and is this just an aesthetic decision or is there some benefit to Olly to remove/keep?
Should we clip him, and when?
There is a pic of him below (12 yo daughter riding).
Thanks peeps!
