I’ve never been a big fan of mane pulling. I wouldn’t want my hair pulled out by it’s roots to have my hair cut. I’ve been told by various people – ‘oh, it doesn’t hurt them’ – oh yeah? And maybe some of them it doesn’t. But for certain, I have two that it definitely hurts.
I have a theory, that the thicker and coarser the hair, the more likely it is to hurt when pulled. Alfie – the wonderful chestnut thoroughbred, it never bothered. His hair was very thin and fine – he was also a very passive horse and a pleaser. Moka, the rescuee, has fine but very thick hair – she’s also very dominant. Pull her mane? Not if you want to live – and I mean that seriously. She will do anything to keep you away from pulling her mane. Cut it? No problem, but pull it – not a chance.
And Nick, the uber brat? Well, being a fjord cross his mane is very thick and the hair very coarse. Even tranquilized he will not allow you to pull his mane. Believe me, I tried it after his teeth were floated. He will shoulder check you right into next week if you’re not careful. It’s not a fun experience for me or for them.
So what did I do? I bought a mane comb with shears on it – and I just cut the darn things. It’s a lot easier for all of us. And I’m all for making things pleasant! That’s what having a horse is supposed to be about, isn’t it?
Horses – my heart, my hope, my life.
