true
they are usually pulled to make the hair look shorter but its actually not. I no this because i have a fjord, actually two. They have a black stripe with white hairs around that line. The hair is often trimmed short enough that it stands straight up, and the white hairs are trimmed shorter than the black hairs so that it is more noticable.
Zebras do have manes but it is short and sticks up like a mohawk.
Because the breed standard for Arabians and Friesians is for their manes to be left to grow long. If you cut an Arabian's or a Frisian's mane and tail it might look weird because these two breeds look better with long hair than with short.
Original answer: Yes, Fjords mane's are naturally short with a black stipe. This is incorrect however; Fjords naturally have very long and thick manes like any other heavier pony breed. Norweigen tradition however dictates that they should be clipped short in the manner commonly seen with the central black hair standing at about 2cm longer than the lighter coloured hair on either side. This makes the neck look as if it as more of a curve, and different shapes of the hogged many can accentuate this is different ways: such as making a poor untoned neck appear more curved. Hogging the mane also allows the strong muscle of the neck be viewed more easily and to show off that the horse has an uninterrupted dorsal eel stripe (the back line down the spine). The forelock is left long for natural protection against biting insects.

No, horses manes are generally long unless thinned, cut (which you shouldn't do or it will grow back very thick) or hogged (cut very short like a zebra and it sticks up). Whereas a Zebras mane stays hogged all of its life.
