Daydream’s magnificent mane

Daydream has wintered well and the cold weather has encouraged her to grow a really thick long mane.   We never cut the ponies manes and like to see them flowing and helping to keep them warm.   They are natural and beautiful – no show pony tricks for our little mares!   Daydream does like to have her mane and tail brushed, it’s not hard to keep free of tangles.   It’s fashionable when showing horses to ‘pull’ their tails and manes – this is just what it sounds like – a few hairs at a time are literally yanked out.  It must be quite painful.  Cutting manes and tails leaves stubby ends so leaving the hair long and naturally looks best.

It’s great to see the manes fly when the ponies are moving.
