i used to use kids spray on hair detangler when my pony lived out and got his mane in a mess! l'oreal do one called sweet pear tangle tamer!

I mix up a concoction of tesco basic conditioner and water in a spray bottle and use that make sure you shake it lots before you spray

It's good that you are so dedicated and spend the time grooming and bonding, but personally with a mane like that I would be too lazy to worry too much! My shetland x has a similar forelock, and interestingly it never grows long, even though his mane is below his neck. Wonder why - maybe so they can see where they are going....

Yours is so cute.

I have a percheron/brabant with the same problem! Its very off but his main twists and twists overnight and while being worked and they only thing i've found is spending the time un tangling it... sorry!

Not the cheapest but worth every penny - Survivor detangler from eQyss - get it from tailgator.co.uk.

You could also put the mane in plaits or go the whole hog if you are keeping the mane long and bag it. I do this with my gypsy cob, both mane and tail.
