I can forgive the chop just to hear the pure joy you have for him already. 
His rear is so cute.

Itāll be less cute if he does it under saddle as he looks very balanced with it haha.
He just cracks me up. Heās got a proper flicky toes prancy trot and the flick of his head he does is hilarious. Like heās going āloooooook Iām a cute little babyyyyā.
I am THRILLED with him beyond belief he is very very different to Boggle but absolutely oozing with character. Dare I say it he may be a little more co operative than baby bog lol.
Heās also totally unspooky and brave. Came over to investigate when Iām chucking stuff in the skip (bog had already run away from it). Wanted to sniff the big dumpster on his walk. No spook at the left out bins. He just wants to investigate most things but he doesnāt fire up like a lunatic like Bog who loved any excuse for a party.

he needs to be trained a s a circus horse. or possible the stand in for Champion the Wonder horse (you'll be too young for that reference look it up on YouTube!)I know I know the mane needs some help and I will do it this weekend! Any suggestions lol? I donāt want to pull it but donāt want it to be a totally blunt cut. I just couldnāt stand the hair. Really and truly I hate long manes or hair on horses anywhere, itās taken me a lot of willpower to let Bog keep his disgusting hairy feet for winter at 8500 feet
Once heās tidied up he will look farrrr better and he already looks much better IMO without the mane!
Even how he rears is cuteIāve genuinely never met a pony that is as cute as him haha.

fwiw I wouldn't be worrying about his mane at this age. chopped is fine for now. A mane rake will sort the rest. and he defo suits him shorter!

This basically. I think she's done an awful job of it in the video, but the method is what I do - though often I just cut straight along the mane initially as you have, then go along the bottom feathering with the scissors at 11 o'clock position until I'm happy with it (or get bored, whichever happens first!).
I never pull, and would never touch a rake again - too many sticky up bits grow through, even when you only use it underneath!

If you just use it on the bottom inch or so then it blends in the harsh cut line that scissors leave
I agree too that I don't want the photos to stop!

Oh, Jesus. He really does. Glad Hermosa and her son weren't (and aren't) like that.

I dunno I guess itās sort of his curious nature, I like that he wants to go mouth a dumpster rather than spook at it

My horse is like that but also spooky?! Will spook at something but then will put his head down and try to pick whatever it is up with his mouth. Good luck with him, he's gorgeous and the curious ones are always more fun to ride

scissors. Brush it over to the other side and then trim close to the neck to get the thickness right down. Then flip it back to the right side, trim it to the right length then scissor it with the scissors at an angle and just keep doing that until you get a neat, but not blunt line.
edited as you said its not thick, so skip that bit

Yes, she was a funny one. Not a spin and feck off in the opposite direction like Fin, but she had a wee bit of wariness about her. The positives are that she doesn't seem interested in sticking her feet into fences and hay feeders, but it did demand confidence and patience from her trainer (aka, me). That was fine, but I think it could have been messy with a nervous owner. All swings and roundabouts.

There can be no hint of criticism of the worldās most perfect little pony. Not over his new mane or anything else. He is perfect.
Until he bucks me off in the spring, that is.

He is glorious. And I am sure he will be nice and civilised and not buck you off.

Iām unconvinced having watched his very active back and all morning. And front end. Heās.. agile.
