- Sometimes you just can't pull a horses mane because they don't like it or their mane is already very thin. Here is a method of cutting a mane that works and looks good.
1). Brush the mane out so its free from any tangles
2). Hold your scissors at about a 45 degree angle ( pointing at 10:00 on a clock)
3). Make cuts along the mane, starting with big cuts and finishing with smaller and smaller cuts once you get the mane the correct length
4). Brush the mane out between each pass over with scissors
5). For even more feathering you may hold your scissors so they would point at 11:00 or 11:30 on a clock
Tip:
Leave the mane longer than you think you need, you can always go back and cut more later

To the point with nice results. very helpful. Beautiful horse. I like the way he was so relaxed while you were doing this.
Thank you very much! I'm so glad you found it helpful!
Thanks for tip. I've never had horses but my girlfriend has 1 large and 2 Shetlands. She has let them all go to shitt. So I've been mowing the dead grass fields off and mending fences. I know what I am doing after dinner now, sprucing up the friendly Shetland! 😉
🤣🤣🤣
… please don’t say you’re mowing in the field they are in

Thank You!
You are so welcome!

We love Sky!!❤️
It looks so nice and neat! I need some help tho, any tips on making it not look like a bowl cut? When I did mine, it looks like a did a bowl cut lol. 😂 I'm not the best with scissors. Any tips on trying to point cut?
No worries! Sounds like you need to even it out in the middle more. Keep holding the scissors at 10-11 o'clock and take tiny amounts off the middle til it looks straighter. With practice it will get easier 🙂 Hope this helps!
@@TopFlightEquestrian Thank you so much, it helps a lot! :)
which horse is that? i ride at saddletree btw :)
That is Spartan, another unicorn at Saddletree 🥰
I'm about to give my horse a bowl cut, I just know it. It's fine though. I can't keep the wind knots out of his mane and he's not a fan of getting his mane brushed so we're going short on his wispy white mane.
Bowl cuts are in! At least that's what your horse will tell his friends in the pasture. Just kidding!🤣 You'll do great! Don't take too much off at first and always make your cuts at an angle or straight up and down and you'll nail it 😃
I have cut my horses manes for shows but I really don't like doing anything to the mane other than brushing it
That's great too as there are many ways to braid long manes that look amazing as well if you need it out of the way for shows.
@@TopFlightEquestrian Selfish.
My issue is length. My horse has a very long mane, but he isn't a show horse, and so it is a bit annoying and in the way. No videos here of how to decide how much to cut off. UGH
It is a personal decision on how much to cut off. Generally speaking if you horse needs traditional button braids then the mane will need to be shorter to make it look good. If you don't have to braid you can have as much freedom as you want on length. What length do you like? Even if the horse isn't a show horse I like a shorter mane since I find that the mane gets caught up in the reins sometimes, but this is just a personal preference. Hope this helps!
I don’t like the main after😢💇♀️💇♂️
That's ok! Everyone likes a different style ♥️
It is all about you. Not the horse. Grow up.
Lmao how does somebody cutting their horse mane affect u in any way?
@@ellastine1234 It shows poor horsemanship. No one wants that.
@@gerrycoleman7290 I agree nobody wants poor horseman ship, but cutting her horses mane is her choice and no one should judge her for that
@@ellastine1234 People need to speak up for the horses. They do not have a choice.
@@gerrycoleman7290 yes I understand what ur trying to say but in the long run how is trimming a horses mane seriously gonna affect anything???
Cutting the mane is stupid and selfish. Let a horse be a horse.
