Fjord Hair!

So yesterday I spent some two plus hours fussing with Kitt. It started with shampooing her mane like mad. I had to re-wet it a couple times because it's so thick you can't get it all wet simply wetting one side, you have to flip it over, wet, flip, wet some more, scrub, spray a little more, and hope that you got nearly all of it.

I think I might make it a yearly ritual. I think the traditional cut looks neat (and is relatively low-maintenance), but I also like how she looks with a (somewhat) normal mane. Of course I've also found out that Fjord hair doesn't tangle nearly so easily as normal horse hair does. After a year of not being brushed/combed I think I found one really small knot in her mane (yes, I admit I'm not much of a mane and tail brusher, but when I do I go through it by hand rather than with a comb and I think they have longer manes and tails because of it).

I think I can arrange that *grin,* how many would you like?
