I'm much more into the idea of a fully hogged and clipped out cob than I used to be. I think that came with realising the difference between grooming them sometimes and having sole responsibility for their upkeep lol |

They have a pretty painful bite. I’ve been bitten by one and had some swelling |

Personally find hogged manes look just…. bad, but that’s purely my personal aesthetic view! Completely agree with Min re. the heat blanket though. Thank god for plaits |
Minerva |
We definitely get horse flies unfortunately. A friend of mine blows up like a balloon when she gets bitten- evil little fuckers. |
The Unknown |
Hmm.. I'm not really sure how much of my old code's styles to transfer over to the changed layout |
Zomb |
I'm genuinely not a huge fan of the heavy hairy horses. But i do prefer to see them hogged |
Minerva |
They also create a huge blanket of trapped heat and itchiness for traditionals. Minnie still has her long mane purely for vanity reasons as her head and neck are a bit small for her body, but trying to keep her cool in the summer is a huge challenge |
The Old Gods |
manes help protect against flying insects since the bugs will typically get tangled in the mane |
Minerva |
Yeah hogged is shaved. There are tiny demons telling me to hog Minnie out but I don't think I can quite make myself. I did plait her up today so hopefully she'll be a bit less hot |
