Should I hog him? :D

[**Vanner**]

Or just leave him au natrel?

 

[piebaldsparkle]

nah, leave unless you want to losses the feathers too.

 

[EllieandGeorge]

Yes!! But I do always like them looking smart and trimmed.

 

[flashmans]

I think he'd look really smart hogged, but yes, you'd have to clip his feathers off too!

 

[mulledwhine]

Nooooo, his mane is gorgeous

 

[Dustygirl]

Noo!!!

But be careful he appears to have a plait in his mane!!!!

 

[Shantara]

You can NOT lose that mane!! And if you do, send that black forelock over to Ned, he needs one!

 

[Sparkles]

You only posted this to get a great big fat 'NO' to prove a point hairies are so in fact best!

Hi vanner... I am currently having the same dilemma. I am sliding towards the hogging because a) the mane is so heavy and must be unbearable when hot and sweaty, b) I think the long, thick mane stops you seeing the gorgeous horse underneath and c) lets be honest, those feathers are super hard work!!
I'd love to see pics if you decide to go ahead, you never know I may get my bottom into gear and do the same!

 

[Tiffany]

OMG it is lovely but how will you keep it even reasonably clean through the winter. I'd hog

Lol x you know me too well. He would look great hogged but I couldn't do it. Love his mane and feathers although I do keep his mane bagged most of the time.

 

[Derfette]

With a mane like that I'd be too scared to hog it!! I know how long it took me to grow my hair!!

 

[Black_Horse_White]

I normally say no way leave them hairy, but I was persuaded to hog and clip off all my boys hair. And wow what a transformation he looked like a different horse, he looked fantastic and I now love him like that. But your horses mane is a lot longer and if my boys was that long I doubt I'd have been so easily persuaded.

 

[cambrica]

Im sorry but surely removing a mane like that is a criminal offence for which I would have to report you

 

[FfionWinnie]

What a mess just chop it off right away















As if you c/would!!

 

[POLLDARK]

You can tell by looking at the other side of his neck what he will looked like hogged, if you like it go for it but do the feathers too. I would shorten the mane a bit anyway to make him more comfortable.

He only has it down on special occasions or when I feel like playing with it - I love it and would never take it off

NO-NO-NO-NO


I personally hate hogged manes.

I see no need unless the horse has skin issues (sweet itch etc)


That is one beautiful mane

awww no i havnt i will have to invest in these thankyou

 

[nikCscott]

I can appreciate how much effort you put into it to keep the mane in that super condition - well done.

Personally I hate long manes - just the same as I don;t like see little boys with long locks- just personal preference.

Would be really boring if all our horses looked the same!

 

[**Vanner**]

Lol

Yep - I do that

I have the eques products which I love. I also bag his mane in mane bags usually to keep it from being rubbed by reins or getting dirty.

 

[Bobbly]

You obviously take great care of his mane, and tail no doubt and given that he is a nice type of traditional then no I wouldn't hog him but I have to say that I think that sometimes a mane as long as that makes the animal look quite old, especially in the show ring. If he was mine I would be thinning it with a rake comb and shortening it some without making it look 'pulled', but of course he's your boy and you can do whatever you want!!
