Mare Manes 😳🤯
People ask me about my horses. You know I love them! Well this girl, ‘Mariah’, has the LONGEST knottiest mane in the history of the world (not really but trust me it’s a lot).
She was very suspicious of the camera (my phone) sitting right there and she kept a very close eye on it 😳 I wanted her to step up a little closer so you could really see this mane - but she wasn’t having it. So we did the best we could.
The longest part of her mane is just beyond the place where you can see.
It is SO long. And just wavy and frizzy enough to be a total knotty train wreck every single day.
I have cut it before and I may need to again but it just feels so wrong to cut those amazing long lovely locks. But for the sake of practicality… I’ve had to do it before. I may have to again here soon.
I’ve tried ALL the products. Some work better than others. But I have to use so much of it - it ends up funky… or if I don’t… it ends up like dreadlocks. 🤷♀️ Her hair is very porous so it sucks everything in like a sponge and then, to get enough on it to get any slick / slip out of it, … it just ends up gooey. (Yes I’ve tried ‘filling it’ with deep conditioner. It soaks that up too but doesn’t help the brushability factor.
I know all the show horse folks probably have better ideas and products and keep a better handle on these things but she’s not a fancy girl like that. She’s a farm horse. A fancy trail horse. 🐴 She gets like 4 good baths a year 🤷♀️ Trust me. Washing and brushing all that is a whole day affair. And she hates it because it takes so long and it’s exhausting.
Part of the reason her mane is so knotty is because she isn’t stalled and kept clean… she lives in the sun and lays and rolls in dirt. 🙄 It’s a good horsey life indeed. But not super conducive to fancy horse issues.
She’s always a hot mess express.
It’s part of her charm. But it has to be managed or she ends up with dreads.

This is Meg & Mariah.
Both are Rocky Mountain Horses (currently grooming and bonding together in front of the fans on a hot day).
These two mares are so cool and endlessly inspirational and influential in my art… and my entire life really. 🐴 ♥️

Apparently FB has changed the rules on us ONCE AGAIN and somehow this account is no longer authorized to do live videos. OK THEN 😒
All good. You’ll see us in pre-recorded videos until this changes.
If you have guesses by now- being a human horse lover/care giver/owner requires MUCH patience and time.
We’ll surely outlast this whatever strange change. 🤷♀️ meh
