If you have a horse that is rubbing its mane out I have a few suggestions.

1. Wash her mane at least 3 times a week, use a human conditioner made to make hair "Silky"

2. Make sure her neck is not getting too hot.

3. If she has a lot of weight on her neck from rugs etc try to minimise that with for example a polar flees neck rug or something of the like.

4. Try a medicated shampoo, found in your local tack shops etc.

Hope this helps, a little late but should be helpful in the future.

Sissi,
Have you tried going to a local tack shop and looking to find a shampoo specifically for white tails?

A staff member would probably know alot of different products, and would know which was the best effective.

-Hope this helps,
Shae

the mane has to be kept long and absolutley no plaiting or braiding. so yea cant do that im just going to make her bridle path a little longer.

Hi, Sissi:

I don't know if roaching is legal when showing minis, but that's what I would probably do. You can try pulling so that it's mostly all the same length, and then you could braid what's left, which would at least make it tidy. If you opt for re-growing it try rubbing white vinegar into the roots of the mane every couple of days to stop the itching. We use it on tails if they rub them, and it really works.

HELP!!! I have a mini mare and i have been showing her but she keeps rubbing half her mane off i really dont know what to do and she just looks pretty silly at the moment with a few strands of hair! any ideas of what i can do? I have tried keeping a cover with a neck cover on her and slinky hoods but she still keeps doing it she just puts her head thru the fence and then it just rubs her mane so she dosent do it on purpose i guess it just happens.
I have a show in 2 weeks and i really dont know what to do with her!!!
