How far in advance of a show do you guys clip? Do they need extra time to get any color back? :bgrin
What I've read and been told, if the donkey has a "nice" mane leave it alone. If it is a bit ragged and doesn't stand up....roach it off. You want them to look as neat as possible. I personally think he looks much neater without his. My mules depend on how their manes looks. Maestro has a horsey mane that hasn't decided which way it wants to go so I roach his off. Sunny and Wylie have nice straight manes so I just used scissors and cut them off so they are about 1"-2" long. It looks pretty sharp!
This is Sunny after her color came back but you can see the mane. Yes, there is a bridle path.
