This message is from: "Jeanne Zuker" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Olaf has a long and thick forelock, he is very calm temperment so his forelock isn't an issue for him. Here is what I would suggest, take his forelock and don't braid it, but try pulling it together somewhat up on his forehead, see is he is any better with the forelock out of his eyes/face. You can use some baling twine (I have done this a couple of times with Olaf, just to get all that hair out of his face.) See how this works before you do anything like cutting it, I don't know if you can 'thin' it out some if this seems to help. I know Olaf's forelock acts as a natural 'fly mask.'
How old is your Fjord and how long have you had him and worked with him? Have you worked on things to de-spook him? Not meant to be critical, just asking for more info. Good luck, I know I would hate to cut Olaf's forelock, but if it is a safety issue, then I would do something. Jeanne and Olaf MI
