Never mind the horse, look at the MANE!!!

[Trish C]

Urgh, I don't like that mane at all, I think it looks absolutely awful... and I do like 'long' manes on cobs etc, but that is just ridiculous!

*this is just my opinion *

 

[Fuzznugget]

Tricolour tobiano?! WTF?! Not ever seen a tobiano like that before!

That's a strange looking tricolour for sure!

My thoughts exactly!

I wish I could have seen this horse in motion! I wonder how it coped!

That's mad! I feel sorry for the horse,

 

[KVH]

That's mad! I feel sorry for the horse,

Ditto!
Dear lord those manes look awful! And I generally like longer manes..

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

wow those manes ,

dead easy getting a horses tail that long ,
not so easy getting manes long tho.

 

[Shantara]

What about these manes?

 

[Ranyhyn]

If its long enough to stand on, its too long! imo

sorry have to disagree with you there i love long manes and tails i hate pulled tails and pulled manes

my horses tails were long till i trimmed them for the summers jumping season, now i will let them grow again
all 4 of my horse in fact all the horse i ever owned all had long manes and tails and the 4 now do too except my mare who has staph aureus
they have won many classes with their tails . One of the fairest of showing classes longest tail no dispute unlike other show classes where a judge , likes a particular breed or colour , its unfair disadvantage , and all 6 1st places were show coloured cobs.

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

Me neither. They look madly impractical and I wonder do the horses have them plaited, bandaged or bound up between shows to avoid damage. Not very nice for them.

I like a tidy mane and a full, thick tail ending a few inches from the ground, myself.

they i am sure would use something like a taill bag http://www.tailgator.co.uk/tg/pages/tailbagorder.html

 

[jinglejoys]

I've still never forgiven Pennwood for mutalating my ponies mane and tail when I took a course there in the 60's!

 

[Ranyhyn]

Don't you worry about how comfortable that is? Don't you worry about it hurting if they stand on it? (obviously not an issue with a tail really..)

It's not that I don't like them per se, its just that I wouldn't like to get tangled up in/stand on my own hair, so wouldn't like to inflict that on anything else either

But aren't tails for swatting flies? I'd rather my horse didn't have to wear a "tail bag" when she's chilling out in the field!

 

[ILuvCowparsely]

my horses dont care about wearing tail bags and


if their tails are short they cant swat much with them anyway .????


tail bags make a good swat not much survives it hitting them .
They are more than happy wearing them as are thousands of others that buy the tail bags .

dont get muddy in the winter either
and when really hot i let them loose and they can swat flies on their shoulders no place a fly goes they cant swat

 

[Paddy Irish]

What about these manes?

because I'm worth it!
( scarily like cheryl cole and jerry hall?)

 

[Tinseltoes]

Yikes those manes are way beyond. Tail on cobblet was too long also.My cobblets tail grows so fast it often touches the floor.
I dont like those really long manes.How they dont trip over I'll never know.

My traditional cob has a very long double mane and it's grown really well since she rubbed it off in September last year. Her forlock is down to her muzzle and I'm growing it as long as possible. I do cut her tail as she was standing on it! Luckily she is black I don't think I would be able to cope with a white mane!
