Thick manes « on: March 16, 2007, 08:24:50 PM » My 10 month old filly has a thick, heavy mane, which is not surprising, since her dam does as well.  What I'm finding, though, is that her mane falls on both sides of her neck.  In fact, I can't figure out which side it really grows on.  My mare's mane was also falling on both sides for a while, but is now going back to normal.  They get plenty of good feed, supplements, free choice minerals, etc., so I don't think it's a nutritional issue, but... I'm at a loss to figure out why it's falling like that.  Does anyone have any ideas?  And how to figure out which side is the "right" side, so I can begin training it?  Ah! May all my problems be so small! Logged Karen P. ata FEI Offline Posts: 177 I LOVE Trakehners!

I pick a side, usually right as we show hunters and train it all over to that side with some serious hair gel and braided pigtails. That and pulling it so it is thinner usually does the trick. I do appreciate my TB mare who has a nice thin mane  Logged Pages: 1   Trakehner Treffpunkt - Trakehner Meeting Place  |  General Horse Topics for the benefit of Trakehners  |  Horse Care  |  Topic: Thick manes « previous next » Jump to: Please select a destination: ----------------------------- Administrivia ----------------------------- => Administrative Updates ----------------------------- General ----------------------------- => General Board ----------------------------- Trakehner Breeding & Bloodlines ----------------------------- => Breeding => Bloodline Info ----------------------------- Trakehner Marketing ----------------------------- => Individual Marketing => Breed Promotion ----------------------------- Showing our Trakehners ----------------------------- => Showing ----------------------------- General Horse Topics for the benefit of Trakehners ----------------------------- => Horse Care => Training => Breeding issues => Health Issues => Vaguely Horse-related! ----------------------------- Happenings within the Organizations ----------------------------- => American Trakehner Association => German Trakehner Verband ----------------------------- Announcements ----------------------------- => Announcements => Foals of 2012! => Foals of 2011! => Foals of 2010! => Foals of 2009! => Foals of 2008! => Foals of 2007! => Foals of 2006! => Foals of 2005! => Foals of 2004! ----------------------------- Sharing Pix and other Updates ----------------------------- => That which does not fit above ... ----------------------------- Borderline Classified ----------------------------- => READ THIS FIRST => Horses in need of homes - Trakehners, free or ...
