This message is from: Sarah Clarke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Some Fjords with really thick manes (like yours - looking at the pix) benefit from a tapered cut. Take the clippers and angle in as you go up, so the top is thinner than the bottom. I have gotten some really floppy manes to stand upright by doing this.

She had a full and very long mane when she arrived in FL. After a few months of her sweating we gave her the proper Fjord cut. It only took me a day to two to realize how much I love it cut and standing up. I'm not sure if this is typical but it seems hers keeps wanting to droop to the side. I trimmed it a bit today since one side seemed a little lopsided, but it still wants to droop at her withers. Could the years of having it long have done damage? There are pics of her that can be seen at: http:// cassidyapril.com/ -- Kathleen Prince [EMAIL PROTECTED] Pookie Bros.
