They are mutual grooming. Lovely, and personally I'd just live with it.

It's what they do, part of their interaction
. I had to artistically trim Dizz's mane due to some intensive horse grooming. Rugs with necks will be going on soon

It's part of a horses natural interraction with others. Why on earth would you want to prevent it? As the weather starts getting cooler, they'll stop doing it so often anyway.

Happened to my mare.
I wasn't too bothered as I liked to see she had a "friend", she had been quite aloof at our previous yard.
When it came to plaiting for showing, I just took some from her tail and plaited it into her mane. Thankfully, her tail is full enough that it could take this small loss.

Do you show your horse or are you just a happy hacker? Either way, I would be totally furious if some half-wit's nag had chewed up my horse's mane. Have a SERIOUS conversation with your yard manager. No need, whatsoever, for this to happen. Please, do, let me know the outcome of this situation. Best regards.
