I saw a picture of a fjord with a long mane. It looked terrible. Very
unruly and messy looking and very unfjordlike... If you leave them long,
they tip over the neck and break down the crest... I think they are
required to be trimmed to be shown.

Too bad you have been exposed to a horse that became overweight while at the
same time having an untrimmed mane. I have a gorgeous mare, Jorunn, dam of
many fine get,including NFHR Silver medallion mare, Tise. Jorunn's (
Rosie's), mane has only been cut once, when I decided to show her one year,
long ago. I let it revert back to it's long and natural state,and have left
it au natural ever since, as I really think it befits her. It does not pull
her neck over, and yes this can happen even if the mane is trimmed.
As far as showing w/ an untrimmed mane, I think it would be frowned upon,
but don't think it would be cause for rejection...Is there some rule to this
effect?
