To Hog or Not!

[TheresaW]

This is my gelding Mac. He was hogged when I got him 5 years ago and I grew it back. I hogged him again on a whim about 2 years ago and let it grow back pretty much straight after, but this unruly mess is driving me mad!

1st poll so sorry if it doesn't work properly.

Little bit difficult to tell from those pictures...but I'll say hog it!

 

[rara007]

And clip the feathers too

 

[lowbardon]

no i wouldnt i like his mane,,how big is he?he looks big

 

[scotsmare]

Can you not just pull it and persevere or do you want rid of the whole lot?

 

[Rosehip]

Absolutely!!!! Definately!!!
I think he would look stunning with it all off!

 

[Blue-bear]

Deffo hog!!! and maybe feathers off too!

 

[TheresaW]

Sorry pics aren't great, taken on phone! He is 16.1, but very chunky. The mane had been pulled about 3 days before the pics were taken. It is so thick, although he has a weedy tail.

Here is a hogged one from a few years ago, although it is growing back.

 

[scotsmare]

On hindsight - looks better hogged

 

[hellspells]

Take it all off! Mane and feathers!!!

 

[TheresaW]

Ok, the mane is going then. Will think about the feathers too!

 

[welshied]

I like him with the mane lol

 

[Cliqmo]

He is gorgeous! I say hog the barbie-esque mane

 

[Queenbee]

I'd say take it all off, feathers and all. I agree it is hard to say aith the pictures, but he seems to be a nice chunky sort with a decent neck that should carry it off, just make sure you post some before and after pictures if you decide to go for it.

Normally I go with hog but looking at he picks the neck he has I'd say grow and if he does have lovely blonde locks, I'd just tidy it up and be patient as it will come nice eventually

I used to hog my horse (he's 3/4 ID) and he looked really smart! I don't bother ATM as not riding a lot and not competing but if I was I'd have the lot off tomorrow.

 

[miss_c]

Definately hog him! And get rid of the feather!!!

 

[Jay89]

Hog! Hog! Hog! Whilst your at it do the legs too

 

[Hels_Bels]

Hog and get feathers off too, he will look stunning

Hog hog, hogetty hog

.

Lovely looking lad

[Sophie0312]

I think he looks lovely hogged.
Chop it off!

 

[Theresa_F]

Only if you are going to also clip legs, and bang his tail - just like I have threatened to do with Dolly. If you not, leave him as a hairy scruff bag.

Don't have hogged mane and leave the tail long and feathers on - looks awful - not one thing or the other.

 

[SnowPhony]

Hog him...he will look really smart

 

[Damnation]

Take it all off, and take a few inches off his taill too, it will make it look thicker

 

[Taffster]

I would so thin it out from the underneath with a thinning comb and take off his feathers he has a lovely coloured mane you should keep it! My d had a thick unruly mane with the proper attention it is lovely now

 

[Vizslak]

hog, and take forlock off too and feathers! he will look sooo handsome! ooo and send me the other horse in that picture please!

 

[Paint it Lucky]

He looks so sweet with a mane, and it is such a nice colour I think you should keep it.

 

[Donkeymad]

Not normally a fan of hogging, but in his case, I think he looks good hogged. keep the feathers though.
