That's a good idea! God knows the bridle path grows with no problem!

lol, I think he's pretty cute with his peach fuzz.

Or you could do what I did, the ultimate attempt at making a mane and forlock look nice.. I shaved it off! Not the forlock, just the mane. Sure does make his forelock look long and luch when there's no mane to compare. lol pretty drastic I know. But my boy ghad an obsession with rubbing out the middle of his mane. It took some time to convince myself because he had a beautiful two halves of mane being arab and saddlebred. But now he's my cute little trojan horse.

I've done it successfully on quite a few of my previously wispy horses. As long as they have decent manes, it works pretty well.

My poor old guy's mane is a goat beard though (a cute one), so no luck there.

ETA: Woot. 1000 posts!

I hope it works well for you.

My mare doesn't have any forelock either.

Dandy, however, has a nice forelock.
