YYEESSSS!! I was too late to vote for hogging but she looks great - it really suits her and I'm so glad you were also in the 'yes' camp. Do you show her in the summer??
I was planning on voting "no", but I am sooooo glad I didn't! She looks absolutely stunning hogged.

I don't like it. She doesn't look like Patches anymore. Everyone seems to think it suits her, but I'm not sure I like that wrinkly look they get on their neck when hogged. Bit yak if you ask me.
i have limited time and i would rather spend more time on body-brushing than fiddling about with a mane.
my cob also has a v thick tail that used to take ages but since i bought a rake to give her the pulled look and thined it out i think she is much smarter.(i didnt used to like pulled tails but now i think they are the buisness)
Just seen this and voted yes, then went on to see that you had gone ahead and done it! I think she looks very smart, although probably I would go the whole hog (so to speak) and clip her out completely, including legs.
But to complete the 'show cob' look, I think you need to remove the remaining feather from her legs - it's rather spoiling the clean-cut look at the moment.

JMHO!

Oh I will. She'd just had enough today and wouldn't let me clip her legs. Needs two of us and a twitch to get below her knees. I'll reserve that for another day.

A hogged mane always looks better after a week or so...you'll get used to it I'm sure
I've said no but not because she'd look silly, infact I think she'd look smart.
But, because, we hogged a mare with sweetich - she was a coloured and where her white was she had pink skin. This meant that we had to plaster her with high factor suntan lotion or she'd get badly sunburnt - turned out to be a real nightmare.
