Does your horse have a pulled mane?

JumpsxGlory · 07-27-2006, 09:31 PM

Yea, my boy does. I actually have to pull it this saturday for our event trial. Here it is though... These are the best I have.

Hope these work.

Fancy has a pulled mane. I didn't do it though.

Luckys is also pulled. But I've been using scissors to keep it trimmed down.

Its wet. Don't let it fool you lol.

And...Babys will be finished off by being pulled. This is it done with scissors. Not too shabby if I do say so myself.

Thats a good idea, especially if the horse has a thin mane, and you don't want it getting any thinner.

Make sure you snip it on a bit of an angle though, so it doesn't look CUT. If you cut it straight across it WILL look awful

I cut my horses with scissors, and I thought it turned out pretty well considering I'd never done anything like that before.

WHAT! pulling manes.. geez... NO way. that's like work! Besides I pulled Chance's mane once a million years ago and it looked stupid.

I was condsidering pulling my mare's mane. Her mane is pretty thick though. Would it still look good? I don't show her, but I just want it more managable and because her mane is thick, it takes forever to brush. How do you pull it? There's a tool you can use right? Or you can just use scissors, if your good at it?

Wow I really like Will's mane and Baby's. That's like what I'm looking to do!! I think I'll try cutting the ends off and pulling it from there...her mane isn't really all that thin, it just keeps breaking at the ends and then it looks raggedy and ugly. I'll see if I can finish it today and then post some pics so you can tell me how I did

Thanks for all the replies!!

How do you get the mane so short? Or does it do that when you pull it???
