The hair on the horses neck is called a mane.
The mane is the long hair that grows from the crest of a horses neck and around lions' face/head.A mane is the patch of fur around an animals neck, like a lion's mane, or in a horse's case, down the back of the neck.
This is called the mane. The hair that dangles between a horse's ears is called the forelock.
When they shake their mane, often they can rid themselves of flies that are on their neck (unless, of course, their mane is kept short in captivity). Also, it is thought to be supposed to help water run off the horse's neck if the horse cannot find shelter.
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.

when you clip the mane close to the horses neck it is called a hogged mane, so if you were cutting the mane off, then you would say you were hogging his mane.

A bridlepath is the section of a horses mane that is clipped from behind the ears a few inches back. Different breeds have different lengths of bridlepaths. Most horses bridlepath should be about the length of the horses ear. Arabians bridlepaths are about and ear and half length. The longer bridlepath accentuates the horses neck which should be arched in Arabs.

A mane is a growth of hair on or around the head, continuing down the neck towards the shoulders. Animals often associated with manes are male lions and horses.
Trimming a horses mane is a personal preference Some disciplines require that the mane be worn in a certain style, rolled, or braided, or banded. In the latter 2 having a short mane makes this much easier to accomplish and manes are usually pulled to a short length. Other breeds are shown with long flowing manes and some have exaggerated bridle paths. Bottom line, if not showing, is it is all a matter of personal choice.
