This message is from: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could be that the Vikings trimmed the Fjord's manes because they were so thick they became entangled in the reins. A very long time ago in my barrel racing, Gymkhana, days I had an appaloosa (mostly quarter horse in background) with such a thick mane I had to roach it so that it wouldn't tangle in the reins, making neck reining difficult.
