There are different types of supplements or products that you could use. For example, I found MTG to work very well with my horse because she has a really thin tail and mane. Or for showing you could just use temporary hair extentions.

What is the top of a horses head hair called?

This is called the mane. The hair that dangles between a horse's ears is called the forelock.


What is the fringe of a horse's mane called?

There are different degrees of shortness when it comes to a horse's mane. For Western Pleasure and Hunt Seat classes the mane is 'pulled' to about 3-4 inches. It shows the horse's neck better in competition. When the horse's mane has been shaved off it's called 'roach or roaching'. This used to be the norm for roping horses so their manes didn't get caught as the rider threw the lasso. And of course different breeds have their own styles and how they like their horses to look.


Is the mane of a Bay horse black?

Yes. It is possible to have a dark base color and a light mane and tail color for a horse. ADDED 8/7/10 It is possible to have a dark base color and a light mane and tail color for a horse (flaxen gene), but it is NOT possible for a true black horse to have a white mane and tail, or even a brown mane and tail. It can sun bleach a bit, but will darken back up as new hairs grow in. It will never be white, unless coated in snow. The flaxen gene, which is what gives a horse a lighter colored mane and tail, does not affect black pigment, only red.

What side of the horse's neck should the mane fall on?

The mane traditionally falls on the right side of the horse's neck. This is due to the practice of mounting horses from the left side, and having the mane on the right helps to prevent it from interfering with the rider.
