Embassing Problem -Please Answer Horse people?

[ShowJumperBeckii]

Hey guys
ok so my horse is a thoroughbred x welsh D and shes much more tb [her build and temperment ect.] but her mane and tail is the cobby part
and her mane is embassing its short but thick!! and looks stupid [bles her lol]
she WONT let me pull it!!! she shakes and shakes and shakess or goes mad!
im a showjumper so i dont have to plait but i dont like it and personly it dont suit her
so i was wondering do the eletric pullers work are they worth the money?
or is there a way of pulling it without her going mad?? :/

thanks guys x

If you don't ever have to plait it...maybe thin it and cut it straight SJ style?

Or twitch her for it?

Try Smart Tails/Manes, works a treat - http://www.smartgrooming.co.uk/smart-manes.html

dont u have to pull it for it to be thin? so isnt pulling it just the same as thinning it?

I've had this before with a TB mare. I use a solocomb to shorten it and to thin it I brush it over to the wrong side and comb through with a stripping comb - when you put it back on the right side it looks much better

Tail rake my mad ones cope with that just fine, even though they would not let me pull the manes.
I rake to thin it, then use solo comb or scissors to trim it to required length.

i used a solocomb on mine, he hates having his mane pulled. it doesn't thin it, but it makes it shorter and neater

Ditto...sorry that's what I meant....if you really really cannot pull it, rake it through to thin it and then cut it smooth SJ style after to finish

Is she good to clip?

Hog her!! saves all the stress of mane pulling

 

[ShowJumperBeckii]

i was told shes not the right build to hog?

Does it matter what build she is if she can jump hog it!
