Hogged Mane!!!!!

RacePony007 · 07-03-2009, 02:46 PM

I've always wanted to hog my mustangs mane before and the only thing that is holding me back is confidence in wondering if it will look good or not! I know its allowed in the show jumping arena and i've always thought it would look good on Poncho because he has a beautifully arched neck! And now i know about "Shapely's MTG Hair Growth" product and my friend used it on her appy once and it grew out from nothing to 3 inches in a month! So what do you think!

Ain't he pretty! I plaited him so you can see his topline a little better!!!!!

Oh, girl I feel your pain. Sort of.
I was stuck in between the decision on whether or not to roach (Hog), and I did it, and I love it.
Your boy will look adorable roached.

I roached Crayon's mane and it came out pretty. good. I think your boy would look cute with it.

Then when it grows into a "mohawk", it's pretty cute too!

I just advise doign it with clippers rather than scissors becasue when I did it, it looked totally uneven until it started growing out a little.

When you guys roach, do you take it all the way off? Or leave a bit on..?

Take it all the way off, I hogged Titus' mane and he has a mohawk now but it looked great.

Yeah I was planning to do his whole main including his forelock so that everything will grow out nice and even! And brand new! Dosn't everybody love new beginnings!!!!!

I think he'd be cute with a roached mane, he is a great neck

RacePony007 · 07-06-2009, 01:11 PM

Okay! Roached it is! I'll fire up my clippers for tomorrow! I'll be sure to send pics! Thanx, for the advice guys!!!!!

Well... I hogged Ponchito and I'm glad I did! He looks so cute!!! He looks like a super muscled polo pony! I'll post pics as soon as possible!

I roach my mare's mane.

The mohawk can make them look over muscley sometimes, but since she has a delicate little neck, it kind of improves the look. I always leave the forelock, though. I say it's because of flies and dirt... but I like it when she has "bangs".
