you should have fully cropped it when it happened with clippers, so it would grow back even. that sucks though.. i'd kill anyone who touches my horse mane. i work hard to make there main as long as possible

[lodicagal07]

charge him with animal cruelty and let the law take it from there he can be charged the fee of the farrier for life and might serve community servce for what he did if his horses are like that tooo then youve got proof of neglect its never too late to press charges

[MudgieRacingspirit]

if they were to cut his mane for a valid reason they should have cut it properly or let you know. Clearly they hadn't looked after him right. My horse has bad feet and he's been out of work for months =/ i know how long feet take to get right if something goes seriously wrong so although his feet and belly were easy to take care of think about mental issues, and long term damage done. Hope hes okay now though =]

[LadyMalin09]

obviously your "friend" neglected your horse...but the mane will return. You should be more worried about any possible long term health effects from his feet and the weight issue. I completely understand your situation, but lighten up about the mane and focus on the "main" problems. btw your horse is still beautiful

[AppyHoursCasualBlend]

well personally, i like his mane a lot better short like it looks, but thats just me. besides if you go away for 6 months or something and you leave your horse with a "Friend" they should be allowed to do whatever with him, as long as its not abuse or something. its your own fault, you should have left him with a more trustworthy person. but anyways i hope it grows back for you!

[AsylumPlease]

Yes, we looooove our horses. But this is ridiculus, his mane will grow back. Any bad behavior from the horse is not because his mane was chopped off. Yes, they did a dispicable job of cutting his mane, but it IS only hair. And his mane wasn't too long to begin with. The best thing you can do, is just roach it in a way that makes his neck look thicker.

[MULEFERGUS]

OMG get a life it will grow back

[ridingxruffian]

"His mane was brutally chopped off"?

There's no pain sensory in the horse's mane. Nothing about this is abusive....

[webkinzlover972]

aww i feel so bad I read ur description box tht was so sad!!! omg I hate who ever did tht to him!!

[halfhalt99]

Is this a joke??? hahaha

It's hair.

[horseforeva11]

never leave him with that friend again lol!

[PasosBrio]

He isn't ashamed of his mane, he couldn't care less. Horses aren't vain like people are. What he might respond to is the fact that you were gone for 6 months and he doesn't understand why you left him. Or he could be responding to the way you feel about him without a mane. I board at a large show stable and have seen many horses with long manes that their owners start showing and they roach them. Their personalities don't change. Get over it, it's just hair it will grow, get some MTG use weekly.

[michell2003]

I agree...I would be more upset with the reason WHY the horses mane had to be roached in the first place...he obviously wasn't being well cared for...that should upset the owners more than a cut mane. It'll grow back, that's the good thing about hair.Band tha mane, or get a mane tamer use some MTG, it'll be fine.

[gallopgirl73]

thats horrible i would be so mad

[Darkling135]

wouldnt really call that person a friend,but thats me.best of wishes and by the way..whats this song called?thanks.

[michell2003]

Looks like he did a horrible job cutting the mane. Maybe he let it get so snarled with burrs, he had to cut it? But just look on the bright side, it's hair and it'll grow back :)When I bought my gelding he had a roached mane, but he also had the most muscular neck I had ever seen. After a year of keeping it short, I decided to let it grow and it turns out he has a mane that is so thick, it parts right down the middle, hiding his pretty muscles, but I LOVE his mane. I'll never shave it off again.

[sarahlindhout]

We have a tennesse walker she went out to training at 3, she was there for a month and she had the long flowing mang a little ibt past her neck. Our trainer chopped it off to 2 inches. I was so mad but luckily within a month it was already i think 3 times as long. Her mane and tail grow so fast.

[PerchTBGirl]

Well, it sucks that his mane was cut because it was hiding his horrible ewe neck. It will grow, and if it is choppy, just roach it so it can grow back evenly. And I am sure he doesn't care about his mane.

[PerfectPony]

Well, no offense but when I read the description, I was expecting this majestic horse with thick, long mane reaching his breast and then it was devastatingly all hacked off. I mean, yeah he was stunning and breathtaking with his mane and all, but firstly, it wasn't really THAT long, and I think Arabs do on hell of a job looking magnificent no matter what the circumstance.

[Gottagirl33]

His mane was down to his chest, but I couldn't find any recent pictures that showed his mane. It wasn't until recently that I finally dug some up.

[erzbet07]

Gottagirl33, To some extent I can understand your frustration/anger over your horse's mane but far better the mane was cut than your horse might have been HURT by this guy! You still have a beautiful horse. Many of us would LOVE to own a horse but cannot. Just give him lots of love and attention. That's what's important.

[Gottagirl33]

Yeah, you're right. I'm very grateful that Joe wasn't hurt.

He's still a beautiful horse and always will be, and my anger isn't just because his mane's shorter. It's because of the type of person who did it, why he did it, and how little it meant to him. It would be like someone babysitting a young child and chopping their hair off in a most brutal fashion because they got gum in it.

But anyway, I'll probably take the video off soon; Joe's mane will look better by Christmas. ;-)

[Gottagirl33]

Thank you, for those of you who support me or at least understand. The mane and tail make a lot of the horse's appearance.

[ilovemychem13]

that's horrible...you call the person who cut off his mane a friend?

[DyersEve]

Um, it's just a mane, who really cares? It's hair, it grows back, I'd more more worried about his feet myself, something which would actually cause him discomfort. And it's also rather silly to give animals human characteristics, animals don't feel shame. Are you that daft that you can't appriciate your horses beauty with or with out a long mane?

[cowgal58]

I'm into Arabs and their mane is everything. I hope that never happens to my horse. Our horses have the long tails too

[Gottagirl33]

We had to leave Joe, because we live overseas. It's too expensive to bring him over here, so we leave him with friends and family.

And by the way, I don't really think anyone's understanding what's happening here. The mane is a big deal, because Joe was very beautiful with it. When someone just chops it off, it takes YEARS, people, YEARS to grow back.

[rrbph]

it's a mane chill out, it'll grow back, it's not as bad as having two show horses get their tails chopped, it'll grow back

[sallyreb]

why did you leave him?

[Gottagirl33]

Maybe I didn't get my message across properly. His feet and his disposition of being in the round pen were easily fixed once we got him back. It's just the stupidity and ignorance of someone to just hack a mane off when it takes years to grow it out.

[Storm288]

I cant believe you're moaning about his mane when you state that this horses feet were obviously neglected and he'd been locked up in a round pen. THAT is FAR worse than the mane!! If his pride appears broken then it will not be because of his mane......!

[Gottagirl33]

Please comment on this, and tell me what you think of people who do stupid things like this.
