Just a follow-up thread for those who were interested!

So she had an all-over bath, then I smothered her mane and tail in Cowboy Magic liquid detangler moisturiser thing. Then I solocombed her mane, which didn't work as I'd hoped-just too much like scissors and she looked ridiculous because it was so thick. So I raided my boyfriends tack drawer! And stole his mane rake---well, that did the trick alright! All the weight taken out of it, nice and fluffy and good condition :)

Then I chopped a load off her tail and went through it with the rake too, took LOADS out and I still think its ridiculously bushy but it's much better!

Then I clipped her feathers. She was good as gold for three out of four feet, was a knobber for the 4th but as her first ever time being clipped I'll let her off! So pleased I clipped because the dirt under those supposedly clean feathers, mank! Her feet look quite shocked! Very blunt in places, will have to perfect the technique but it gives you an idea of what she'd look like trimmed out :)

So, she used to look like this:

And now she looks like this!:

Let me know what you think! It doesn't matter if people don't like it, hair grows back!! :) she was beautifully well behaved today bless her.

She looks lovely, really smart :)

My friend helped me do my horses mane today with her cutting comb and although it looks better it actually turned out to be a lot thicker than it looked so I need to pull it tomorrow. I really want to clip his feathers off but he is absolutely terrified of the clippers so will need to work on that first.

Well done good job
 
So much better, she looks really grown up.

Glad you ditched the solocomb, useless thing would have destroyed her mane for future plaiting and made it all spikey.
 
We won't be doing much, my boyfriend is an eventer so any weekend we're out its for him - until I can drive myself on the weekends that he is at work, we won't be going very far unless we can hack there! But she's still very much a baby - she's not quite 3 yet - so this summer will be a very very quiet one, pootling round the countryside.

If I could have everything, then I would love her to be able to pop round a cross country course, do some fun rides, but I just want to have a laugh with her!

I don't really believe in 'fluffy bunny' stuff, but she's my soulmate. xx
