The bare spot where you shave a horse behind the ears is called a "bridle path". It has that name because it clears a path on the horse's neck for the bridle to be worn without getting tangled in the mane. There are different styles of bridle paths, from only cutting a tiny bare spot, to shaving the mane from ears to half-way down the neck. When the entire mane is shaved off, the mane is "roached."

So when you shave the horse's mane right behind the ears, it's called "cutting a bridle path." And when you shave the entire mane off, it's called "roaching the mane."
