What to do with a half Arabs mane after it has been cut?

In 4-H, it doesn't really matter, but if you want to look professional, you put it in rubber bands like little mini pigtails. Hope this helped. =) I guess it depends on how short you cut the hair. For Western Pleasure classes for 4-H the judge won't hold it against you if the mane is not perfect. But if you want your horse to look his best try this. If the mane is longer than 4 inches long pull the mane until its 4 inches. To pull mane get a metal mane/tail comb or pulling comb. Take a small amount of the mane hair (about 10 to 15 hairs total) and with the pulling comb 'rat' the hairs, (ratting is pushing the hair back while holding onto the small clump) Most of the hair will be pushed back almost to the horse's crest. Wrap the remaining hairs around the pulling comb and yank thoses hairs out. Your horse may not be too happy with this at first but soon he will get used to it. Try to avoid the temptation to cut the hair. Pulling is more natural looking and the mane will be thinned and more easily managed. Once the entire mane has been pulled (beginners can usually pull an entire mane in an hour) trim off any scraggley, uneven hairs with a pair of round-tipped scissors. Don't use sharp, pointed scissors that may hurt you or the horse if he moves. If you want the full effect you can try to band the mane with small rubber bands made just for this purpose. The key to a neat, attractive look is to use small amounts of hair in each band. This does take some practice and it may not look that great the first few times you try it. If you know someone that can help you that has done pulling and banding before it would be great. Don't feel bad if it doesn't turn out as well as you would like. Good luck.


Why did British soldiers vounteer to fight in World War 1?

Several countries of the Commonwealth like New Zealand and Australia volunteered for the war for many reasons. These reasons were duty, honour, peer pressure, influential propaganda, the seeking of adventure, a growing sense of nationalism, the lack of wars in the European area since the 1870s and an increase level of literacy in the soldiers that led many to romanticize the war.As you can see, the answer to this question is in not simple. There are many variables and factors that contributed to the volunteering for the war.The most influential factors would be duty and loyalty to the British Empire. Additionally, a growing sense of Nationalism in the colonies and the sense of adventure of many soldiers that led them to volunteer. Much of the Great War was romanticized during its initial years also due to high levels of literacy and propaganda.


Why was Ivan the fourth called the Terrible?

All the answers below are inaccurate. Ivan the Terrible was called that for his reputation as being a cunning and formidable military leader. This title was given to him at an early age after the conquest of a powerful and important Tartar city in which he successfully mined under the city walls and used gun powder to breach them. He was able to vanquish an army far larger than his during that campaign. "Terrible" was meant as an acknowledgment of his military prowess rather than for any cruel or sadistic deeds he may have done. The irony is he did gradually become terrible as he got older but this was brought on by slow mercury poisoning that was in the medication he took for his chronic and painfully debilitating arthritis. Ivan the Terrible was named Grand Prince of Moscow in 1533 and the crowned Czar in 1547. His rule went from 1533-1580. Ivan the Terrible often had fits of rage in his younger age due to the fear of being murdered by thoses wanting to take the throne. This often led to the paranoia he would later develop. He's called terrible due to the fact that he had a certain lust for power. He reduced the power of boyars greatly, and peasants weren't treated any nicer. He created a secret police which would cause terror in the country. He also was said to have beaten his pregnant daughter-in-law, causing a miscarriage. His son, also called Ivan, got into a heated argument, which led to his father taking his pointed staff and striking him with it on November 16, 1581. This blow proved fatal, leaving Ivan the terrible devastated but not enough to stray from his path to absolute power.
