I do a pretty good job with grooming in general, but manes and tails are apparently just not my thing. I have 3 minis with that super thick Buckeroo mane and tail going on!!!!! I did an ok job when I thinned my stallion's mane and tail, but then I did my gelding and he looked like he had a sideways mohawk . The hair stuck straight out sideways from his neck
I was trying to pull back the top layer and trim the underneath with the thinning shears, but it didn't exactly work right . I know some shave one side or the other and just leave a thin strip of mane, I hate to go that route, but any suggestions for those super thick manes would be great. I have tried several methods, but if anyone has pics of the process or close ups of their show horses that would be great too. I seriously need to get to more shows and clinics to get back in the groove and learn a few new tricks too!
