The mane is to keep the neck warm for the horse, and to help rain run off it's neck lf the horse can't find any shelter. It also gives the horse some fly protection, although the tail is usually the best protection against flies. Also the mane is just like our hair! It is just something that naturally grows. You can do almost anything with the mane! Hogging the mane just means shaving it off, this is done in Cobs, but some other breeds as well. In America it is known as Roaching. You can also plait/braid the mane for special shows, to make the neck look more fancy. Hope this helped =)
