I use the Fiskars Soft Touch scissors/shears. They are light weight, have
big, padded, comfortable, spring loaded grips, and nice sharp blades. I also
recommend the Fiskars brand sharpener to go with them - best one I have
found. You can see a photo
. It IS possible to save a mane without cutting it all off. Takes a
few hours but it is doable.
Glad to hear of all of you who DO use the Fiskars Brand of scissors! They
sent me product and it appears at this time, we will give a pair of them
along with trophies at the Blue Earth Show - ANOTHER reason to come

well but didn't

I just had to check out SAM'S club in here in Fairbanks, Alaska and found
the Fiskars set also, priced at $14.47, not bad for way up here. Too bad I
just bought the big softouch Fiskars at Michaels for $18.95...But just had
to grab this set

Hi all! I just returned from Sam's Club and I purchased the Fiskars 2 piece
set for $13.94. It includes the Soft-Touch scissors with another pair of
small micro-tip scissors for precise cutting. Both have blade sheaths as
well.
Now I have

Okay! Thanks on the scissors Gayle. Well shoot, I always used the clippers
and got my manes pretty even with them. I usually bevelled them though. I
probably wil use a combo. These scissors better be pretty tough to get
through Joe's mane. It is

I have tried Friskars, but now use scissors that are designed to cut leather.
They cost about $10 a pair at the leather supply store. When they don't seem
to want to cut I spray them with my clipper lube and of we go again. The pair
I am currently using
the outside. Fiskars or clippers?

NO, NO, I arch it to shape a nice arch over the neck, but initially it is
cut straight across from one side to the other, unless I am leaving the
black a half inch higher in the middle. Then I bevel the sides so it is
higher down the center

Jean in Alaska, you say you cut the mane straight across? Do you mean you
do not arch it over the upper neck to the ears? Jean in Aberdeen

I cut the mane straight across (one side at a time) and then with one hand
push the mane over to one side, and then cut the hair that sticks out,
winding up with a beveled edge. Is this very clear? experiment with
holding the mane over to one

misha,
fiskars are the best!! you can get them anywhere. they have orange
handles and the newer ones come in different colors. just make sure they
are fiskars. i did quinn yesterday after a break in the rain. he was
sopping wet
always use clippers but since I have horses in so many
different areas of the farm it would be nice to just take a scissors out
there instead of haul out all the clipper stuff or bring horses in for the
mane trim. So are these Fiskars the real good ones and where do you get em

Yes I think they're really good for this. Just make sure they are no

Misha,
the Fiskars I got came from staples they are orange for the most part
(and grey, I think!) They cost about 15.00 per pair. They really really
work! I was using regular scissors, and having the trouble you spoke of.

Misha these seem to be the orange or blue plastic handled scissors you see
in hardware store. I have about eight pairs scattered about the place and I
have yet to have them go dull. Of course I have only one mane to trim, but
what a mane.

Hi Misha,
Fiskars does make some pretty good sissors. Never used mine to trim the
mane though. I use sheep shears. Works great for me. Got the idea from Nancy
Lehnert.

And will they cut even thick Fjord manes?
