Thining Mane - Advice

[StaceyW]

My mares mane is very thin and so is her forelock, thats almost non-existent. Her mane rubbed off a lot last winter and I managed to get it to grow back and this winter we managed to stop the same happening so far up her neck. Although it is very thin and wispy. I cut off the hair by her withers as it was terribly wispy

Is there anything that will encourage growth or thickening, her tail is fine.

I plaited it over the other day to get it on the right side

Any ideas????

I've heard cornucrescine is good for getting hair to grow (aswell as hooves!)

Id recommend trying Shapleys MTG. I originally got it to treat a skin problem but after reading the bottle it said it helps hair growth. Tried it on my mares mane and it worked a treat.

As well as using products on it, don't wash, brush or do anything to the mane unless you have to (for a competition or outing etc), it'll cause less to fall out.

Megatek rebuilder from tailgator.co.uk - best stuff you will ever buy. Rub into roots daily at first and comb through.

When it starts to thicken you can then mix it 50 - 50 and rub in and comb through two or three times a week.

Don't brush or comb it any more than you need to. If you need to shorten it, use one of the clippersharp rakes rather than pulling - you can get very good results with them.
