Interesting, we also use the word 'sorgkant' = funeral stripe for the Danish style too, but I've always belived that it was a Swedish expression. We use 'sorgkant' for many things with black lines on (e.g. dirty finger nails!) allthough the original word meaning is about the black line on condolence letters. Anneli

We actually talk about 'Danish' and 'Norwegian' hair style here in Sweden. I don't know if there's any truth in it. Same here, only we call it Dutch and Norwegian. The Dutch style has the black hairs about one cm (half an inch) above the white. That's how most people do it over here. I think it is more striking.

This message is from: Anneli Sundkvist [EMAIL PROTECTED] I trim the mane, the tail (just half an inch every second month or so) and the ears. I trim off what's outside the ear when it's the edges are pressed togheter, nothing more. The winter-beards are naturally trimmed off since I body-clip my horses every fall. They get what I think is called semi hunter-clip - no coat under their bellies and on the lower parts of their necks. To make it look good, I try to create an 'arc' which corresponds with the arced mane when I clip their necks. Their beards are removed, since I follow the cheekpieces of their bridles when I clip their heads. I always leave everything on the legs and never trim their heads apart from when bodyclipping them. In what style/tradition do you people trim the manes? A friend of mine gave my brown dun mare a 'Danish' hair cut the other day. The black hair is now a little longer than the white hair. Looks nice.
