I had thought about pulling it since she is gona do SMS too and she does have a rather long thin neck but I like it long too. Any suggestions on that one??

Hmmm do you have any pics of her?

Sorry, these are all I have right now.

The first is when she was about 3, she was always quite skinny until she was in foal. Then #2 is when she was about 10 months along. Neither one are great at showing her mane and her neck is longer then the first one but you can't tell in the second one. All the pictures I have recently she is looking at me or nuzzling the colt so she is bent at the neck. I will try to get some this weekend, I need them for some other stuff too.

Thanks for any and all suggestions!

And one other thing, if she hase a long mane she dose not have to have one of the long bridle paths, my arabs have long mains and a short bridle path and they place really well.IMHO It dose not really matter how long/short her main is (QH girl i know you were stateing your opinion, and i was to).

I didn't say anything about the bridlepath ??? I was talking about if she has a long mane, the arabian headset looks much better on a horse... same for shorter mane, the QH headset looks better. It doesn't matter the "length" of the bridlepath... Confused????

If it is long... don't "trim" it all one length like the first picture above. It should be natural and not a "bob" look!!!! if you like the "clean lines" then pull it short!

That picture is from years ago and way before I even thought about showing. I have since learned how to pull or use thinning scissors so that it looks better.
