Bad Mane Day!

New Topic

• chelsea03 Posted : 6/27/2009 1:12:22 AM Hi Guys! I need some advice about my horse's mane, it is a mess! His mane is really thick, and it is the summer which is too hot for him and also the weather has been really hot which is not helping, and he is also black so it makes it even hotter for him, also his mane had grown on the other side! Now it looks like he has two manes! I really want to fix it but i have no idea how. I just wanted the mane on one side, and I also wanted it thinner for the summer. Thanks LIKE 5 REPLIES 1388 VIEWS LAST POST CATCHADREAM Like Share You have posted to a forum that requires a moderator to approve posts before they are publicly available.

• hunterseat Posted : 6/27/2009 3:06:11 AM I thin by pulling but there's a trick to it.  Some horses can't tolerate a lot at one time.  I think once you get it thin you can braid it to stay on one side.  There's some stuff at ethnic hair supply stores.... okay - they're common in Memphis.  It works great.  It's called Kolestral..... there's Placenta, too.  [8|]  Probably named after someone's kid.  *snicker*  I use it on my horses manes and tails to get tangles out and it smells good-ish.

• Catchadream Posted : 7/16/2009 9:16:34 PM You could try braiding it into really tight braids all on the side you want it to be on and leave them in for about a week at a time.  The braids will help train it and the tightness and length of time will cause some of the hair to be pulled out.
