I am new to Fjords. I have a mule and I roach his name with a pair of scissors. It works beautifully. I tried the same thing with my two Fjords. Their manes are much thicker and every mistake shows.
My gelding stood perfectly still and let me create a masterpiece with a slightly raised black center and two gleaming white edges - not quite as curved as those I see in the Fjord Herald, but pretty good for my first attempt.
My little mare, badly behaved, but vain, would not cooperate. The result is something between a punk rocker and a mohawk.
Someone please advise me the best way to go about this. I have two questions:
1. Do I need electric clippers? In which case, there are so many to choose from, all over the map in price. I've never used them -what's the difference between clippers at $45 and those at $300. Please, someone, point me the right direction.
2. Would it be frowned upon in Fjord circles to clip the mane flat against his neck? It looks so much better to me.
Your advice is appreciated. The FjordHorse List archives can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/rcepw
