Can I see your long manes and tails?????

[Lil' Horse Lover]

Here is my boy Bodie.......he has an extremely thick mane and forelock and it is getting pretty long.....his tail is pretty long too. *All photos were taken at diff. times this year.

This is Liberty a filly that AsIfbyMagic and I own. She is only just two in this pic, taken this year just after winning a Championship

This next one is of my mare Dark Angel, it isn't just so long but she does like to show it off.

P.S. sorry it's so big couldn't get it to resize.

Here is my two year colt, Creeksides Class Act. He has quite a long mane for a youngster.

Janet, he's GORGEOUS!! :new_shocked:

: Is he a gray sabino? How lovely!

Kody would be a complete Andalusian wannabe if it weren't for me and my clippers. Here's a thumbnail link (click on it to see the full-sized version) of him at four years old the day I met him. There was no undercutting on the mane although there's a missing patch where they'd cut out a snarl, but his tail had been banged and his previous owners had hacked off his forelock with scissors at eye level.

: Within five months it had doubled its length and grown to the end of his nose. :lol:

:



By that winter his mane had also gained a few inches. (Boy, he sure looks gawky, undermuscled and resistant! You don't realize how far they've come until you look back. :aktion033



For lack of better hair pix online, here's his fifth birthday in April 2005, forelock undercut, mane not.

These days both mane and forelock are undercut for manageability although they seem to shorten themselves as well.

: The tail I have to lop off and blend a couple of inches every six weeks or so as it just never stops growing.

Gotta love the little guys!

: All the horses on this thread are gorgeous and au natural, thanks for sharing. It was a thrill to see actual pix from Jane! :new_shocked: :lol:

Hello Leia,

Thank you for the compliment on my boy. I just got him back from the "Buggy Lady". She did a great job. Problem is, he knows what he is doing, but I am the novice. Someday I hope to be an expert driver like you!

I don't know what color Class Act is. Here is another picture of him--with a very bad clip job.

Here is my contribution. My older stallion Sutherlin's Little Popeye aka Gramps

He has a wonderful thick mane and tail and he passes it to his foals. It takes hours to wash it and comb it out but I dont mind too much.

He is a grand old gentleman and is worth his weight in gold to me. We have 2 handicapped children and our goal is to raise minis that ANYONE can handle and enjoy. His personality and attitude are unmatched. He has a nice show record from his younger years and has given me many gorgeous foals.

Janet, you are super sweet but for gosh sakes don't let my trainer hear you say that! :lol: I am green as grass and have so many things still to learn...

Given that, I expect to see you up at Happ's in the next year learning what it's all about so you'll be ready when Class Act is four! I MUST meet your boy in person. After all, if he's been with Milaine he's trained for carriage driving so there's no reason not to take him CDE when he's old enough.

:

I don't know what color Class Act is.

From those photos I would say with some certainty that he's a true fading gray with sabino and presumably other pinto genes thrown in there. He's too faded at this point to tell what his original color was before the bleaching but if he were an Arab he'd just be called "gray."

Wow, there is a lot of hair in this thread!

:

Generally I'm not a fan of an overwhelming amount of mane ... but some of these are very impressive!

This is Circle J I Am Canadian, aka Joe. Not in the same class as many in this thread, but give him time, he's only 2!

 

[VernB]

Here are 2 of my stallions they are half brothers. I think my appy has good hair growth especially for an appy.

 

[Sheri Hill]

Here is one of mine, Just Ginger Mae. I have more with long manes just not on photobucket right now.

This is Casey,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,and my silly son.

Casey is only 2,,,,,,,,,,,,this was taken 2 months ago and his mane has grown even more. Not only is it long, it is wayyyyyyyy thick as well.

 

[drk]

This is Ty, His mane is actually much longer now. He is just a tiny little guy 26.5"

He has a really really thick mane and I've had to thin it several times.

 

[HJF]

I think my stallion, Little Kings Joker Jubilee has a long, pretty mane..but I hate how it gets all knotted up so fast!

 

[Nigel]

Aww! oh so cute. Sry, no pics yet.
