Re: [RC] roach the mane!-horrified - Michael Lewis
Barn brat. Hahahhahahaha!! Just the giggle I needed this
morning (Iraq time.)
The lattice weave is my fave for endurance... looks great on both of my
grey Arabs. Wife and I swear by Cowboy Magic in the tube, although there's
some Avocado spray stuff (cannot recall who makes it) that I like to use (in a
pinch.) We use Show Sheen rarely, and only for a couple
things.
just on a personal note- im horrified that anyone would purposely roach a
mane.
I have manes down to the shoulders and tails dragging on the ground. I
think its part of the horses appeal, and part of the fly repellant
system.
I don't have tangle problems because I brush them out JUST once a
week, not much more, with lots of vetrolin detangler gel ( in the squeeze
bottle) or cowboy magic in the tube.
a brushed out conditioned tail don't pick up sticks and branches.
I no longer buy show sheen or any other sprays after using the
concentrated stuff.
I only braid for endurance, or when I know I will be dumping lots of
water on the horse's neck.
if you can find some little barn brat who can french braid the whole
mane, that works great too.
we did the "lattice" weave on a white horse I used to have. I refused to
pull the mane out for a show.
everyone loved it.
my forelocks don't seem to want to grow much longer than mid
eye-ball.
the "drinkers of the wind" should not look like polo ponies with brush
bottle tails.
