web site. In photographs from 1880, 1885 1901, 1904, 1920 and 1954 (and 
those are just a sampling of photos I looked at and liked enough to print) 
I found Fjordies with the what we call "the Dutch cut" or a similar but 
crude, rounded cut that showed off the black from the side.

I think I used the search word 'hest'.

hester . transport . sleder . saler . dekken are all words that on the 
searches of horse pics, dunno what they all mean.

I tried the Dutch cut on my yearling, Anjee, and discovered that her mane 
isn't thick enough to support it.  That was quite a suprise!  My Dorina has 
one of those manes that seems like two inches across and a bit floppy on 
the edges unless I Dutch cut it and train it up a bit.  Both have beautiful 
manes though.

Something I bought, that I like a lot, to trim manes with is a pair of old 
fashioned type scissors in the sewing shop with a little serration on the 
thick edge that grabs the hairs and does't let them slip back out or shift 
around as I close the blades.

Hope everyone is enjoying as lovely an Autumn as we are.
