Okay, Willie has the poofiest forelock I have ever seen. I try to thin it, and it just doesnt work! At shows I could put every hair product known to man in his mane, and within minutes it goes POOF! I cant get it to tuck under his halter, because it is to short. Now, I don't mind it for now since we don't have anymore shows coming up (Because I think it is kind of cute. It really reflects his personality too!

I have a couple like this and until it gets some length it can be quite a bother but here is what I do.

First thin it some more. From the sides, underneath, everywhere.

Then at shows put a huge glob of the heaviest hair gel you can find in your hand, I am talking a big glob and grab the forelock and coat it with the gel. On some I have to do this, comb it through and do it again right before class so it is really wet and saturated with the gel.

I have seen people use Elmers Glue as well but I have not had to resort to that yet. Not sure I would either but hey, to each his own.
 
Thanks so far!

Is it just me or does it look like you could trim more off from the back near his pole. I have mine trimmed to the point of when the ears are perked, and I am viewing from the side, I cannot see any of the forlock comming from behind. Just a clean bridle path.
 
Oh Mary you beat me to it!!! Yes, he needs more off from the poll area- and, if you have trimmed under the forelock, DON'T!!!

Let it all grow out over the winter, no trimming or messing, then retrim next Spring (Aaah....SPRING!!!) Then slap a load of extra hold gel on it, stick a hood on him overnight and it should behave!

Hehehe is that Ernie under that afro?!

Nothing worked with Ernie's either! I do think you should cut it back more towards the pole like every one has already said.

But Ernie's was like that ever since I owned him and one day... actually 2 weeks ago, I was brushing him and 50% of it just fell off

But it looks normal and lays down now. It was really odd but he looks better!
