Mane hairs or tail?

Rocky votes for mane, says it'll hurt less, lol, and I've been wanting to pull his mane.

In all the DNA kits I have ever used it always says to pull main hairs...

Ok, thank you.

Both are the same. They request foals to have tail hairs pulled due to the development of the folicle. But mane hairs are easier to handle.

He's a year old, well, will be on the 20th.

Davis' instructions say:
HYPP HairPull hair with roots attached from the mane or tail

Also AQHA reg horses get a discount. Let me know if you need more info

Yes,make sure to go next to the roots of the mane,wrap a few hairs around your fingers or hand and pull,making sure you get the roots,I always send around a dozen in a plastic bab,with a zipper.
