Both my girls have the double sided thing going on too if I pull it any shorter than about 6".

I like to keep Connor's short because it helps him to look more like a sport pony and less like a Thelwell pony, but the first time I did it, I got it way too short, and it has never lain on one side since.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-4548566214188167292014-11-07T15:14:51.359-08:002014-11-07T15:14:51.359-08:00Manes can be troublesome.

I try to keep Nancy's long and have yet to pull it, but she had a good itch off a tree or something last autumn when I made the mistake of leaving in a running braid for turnout and ripped out a chunk of her mane!!! It has grown back a good bit since then but is still a long way off the rest of her mane! I am trying to decide whether to pull the rest up to the shorter length or wait a bit more for it to grow then try to even it up...decisions decisions harumpf<br />Kika's is technically easier as i like it shorter, however she doesn't particularly like getting it pulled (can't say I blame her) and i tend not to pull between May & November due to them being on 24/7 turnout and flies...so i prefer to leave her with enough for a L'Oréal flick to shake it off (yep I now have Taylor Swifts song stuck in my head)Aoifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06324156483692821044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-15098359395823716352014-11-06T14:22:52.545-08:002014-11-06T14:22:52.545-08:00Mine are like that too...it's about 60% talent...Mine are like that too...it's about 60% talent and hard work and 40% luck if they ever do look good.
