What also works great are the metal blanket racks. They are on chain and usually have 4 or 5 metal bars going across. They're usually about 2 feet wide and can accomdate a LOT of ribbons.
It depends on the horse. Certain colors I would clip a week out so their color would come back in and they wouldn't be dull (buckskin, black, possibly bay). Others I might clip the day before or two days before (chestnut, grey).
It also depends on the weather. They tend to grow hair if it's...
I agree - he does look like five different horses. He definitely looks better with the mane dyed black. And I'm with you on thinking that he was probably "locked up" most of the time as your pictures prove what the sun does to a dark mane....
You've done a wonderful job! The only suggestion that I have is to change your font color or background color on the individual pages - the pink text is very hard to see against the white background.
Just wondering how everyone did at the NEMHS show that was last weekend at the Big E. How were the class sizes?
Natalie - how did yours end up doing in the Championship classes??
