Thanks to all of you who responded to my question! Have a Great
weekend, and I'll certainly check for ticks, although I've already combed it
out and haven't seen any!

Hello,
I have cut the mane with scissors, but my hand gets very sore and tired. I

Hi,
I do not wet the mane, but spray it good with a detangler. That really
helps with cutting for me. I also use one of the long hair picks to
hold that part of the mane upright that I am trimming.

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

I roach my Fjord's manes in December. They are grown out and ready to
re-shape by March. I wash the manes so they are thoroughly wet and then
trim with scissors. The trick with scissors is the wet mane. It makes
trimming much easier.

Hi Linda-
Ahh, mane trimming, the bane of Fjord owners ;-)
I prefer to use the electric clippers because my Fjords have super thick
manes; those with polite little manes can be done with scissors. Generally, the
more expensive the clipper the better

Linda,
We clip the mane close each spring and let it grow out from there. And in
some cases we keep it clipped close all year around. Even my APHA gelding
has a Fjord cut. He actually looks great in it.
May I suggest the NFHR grooming video. Check your

My horses live outside all winter, with temps down into the minus 20's, and
they do fine with trimmed manes. If you don't trim them, the manes tend to
divide in the center, and create a part. If anything, I think this would be
