To roach or to pull?

taydajumper93 · 08-14-2008, 10:50 AM

I am debating either roaching or pulling Prezzies mane, but I need help deciding. I will prolly end up cutting his mane because I s.uck at pulling with a comb, and thats what I used to do with Roxy and it looked just as good as my sisters horse who I pulled. But I really like the look of a roached mane on a sporthorse!! I roached Roxy and it was almost no maintenence and it looked spectacular!

I will get pics of it today, and post them.

Pull/cut. I'd perfer a bad pulling job rather than roaching on a TB...that's just my opinion tho. Good luck

The muscle is starting to build really fast, I think he could pull it off. This is after only 1 1/2-2 weeks of work with me (side reins and using himself when riding), and it is still building.

I personally used to LOVE to roach my old jumper ponies mane because it looked so cool but now i have a hunter so i need a mane.

I would say go for it and just roach it, whats the worst that could happen? Hair grows back!
