I actually prefer it- I think he looks super smart.

I much prefer it short too! I am not a fan of long manes in general though, especially on such a fine elegant lad like V

I am sure it will look completely fine once you thin it out a little. It always takes a few goes to get it right... I just do a little bit all the time otherwise I would be there for hours!

oh my gosh - i love him - can i swap one of my lorries for him NOW!!!!

 

[PiaffeRM]

Thanks! So surprised people like it! I was expecting to be slated!

I tried to thin it a bit today after I worked him so it's looking a little better. Will do somemore tomorrow,as its not very nice for him!

 

[LauraBR]

I think he looks better and I can't wait to see him plaited up!

 

[pinktiger]

i love it think it looks fab,, shows that beautiful neck off such a shame to hide it under a 'wedge' of mane!!!!! your blisters will heal!!!! no pain no gain!!!!!

 

[PapaFrita]

Viento has got such a nice neck he really suits a long mane. Pulled looks nice too though!

Don't get me wrong, I like it, he looks great, but you've probably slashed his value!

I doubt it, I think the type of buyer he would appeal to most is more likely to be interested in V for his dressage than his breed in which case they would most likely want the mane off anyway.

I'm only saying what a friend was told by the Andulusian society. She has a dressage Andy, and wanted to pull his mane, but she wanted to check. According to them if someone is specifically looking for an Andy a pulled mane would put them right off and their value is a lot lower

As I said not my opinion

It can do if not done properly. I have no choice with my mare, she will not allow anyone to pull her mane and makes the most ridiculous fuss ever. Mind you, I wouldnt just stand there and let someone pull my hair out in chunks either!!!

 

[RedRed]

I pull my Andalusians mane, its so much easier when riding, as you end up pulling half of it out when it gets tangled in your hands and round the reins

 

[teapot]

Actually quite like it

 

[mickey]

I prefer the shorter look.

I have to agree actually. Its not as if its never going to grow back!

 

[PiaffeRM]

Soo true! And much easier to brush out all of the mud!
