arched :)

[sharpsky]

first one it gives his neck a much nicer shape

out of curiosity whats the bit and the end been left for?

[K.T]

The bit left is : a traditional Criollo cut! something to hang onto bareback LOL and a way for the Goucho Cowboys to tell which horses are broken on the Pampas!

1st one is much better....fabby horse!!!

[K.T]

Thanks - he really is a fabby horse - im sooooo lucky!:D

[laceyfreckle]

the first one, although i never knew it was called a criollo cut....when i learnt oride years ago the best x country schoolamster they had looked a bit like a smaller version of your guy and he had a arched cut too...he was called Zanzibar:)

its buddy boy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well you know which one i like!!! arch looks so cool. although he does look sexy in both of course the handsome cheeky chappie.;)

[Ginger Thing]

First one - but I assume if you've done the second one, you would have to wait for it to grow to do the first one again! ;):D

Arched!

[Soot]

Arched!
Rambo used to have his like that :).

Ahhh sexy Buddy!!

the first one!! I love the arch. I'm growing Maximo's out a bit so I can have a go at the arch again as have just been hogging it. To get the arch (As I don't trust myself with the shears!!) I use human clippers and start by doing a number 5 all over. Then a number 3 and the ends and work down like that and blend in to get the arch.

first one, but then i am biased!! love the criollo cut.

[Blitzen]

I like the first one too - beautiful horsey!!

[Anna-Marie :)]

he looks gorgeous with both but the arch gives him a nicer shape :)
theres so much about criollos on this forum lately i think they should have their own section!

[K.T]

I quite like the blunt hog, as i thought he looked less like a cob (less chunky) not that i dont like cobs just - people seem to be comparing Cobs and Criollos, to me its like comparing Arabs and TB.

Thanks Fee for advice on Arching mane - as Monique did it last time with hand shears.

Arched looks a hundred times nicer :)

[Jen_e_Jen]

Definitely arched! Makes his neck look great!

[Great Auntie]

Well I might as well put my penny's worth in as well, I agree with the Majority, I like the Arched.

Mark is going to let Bayo's mane grow abit, as when he first saw him it was a bit long & very soft & he thinks it will look stunning, but I want to keep Cicatriz a traditional Criollo, though if I'm let loose with the shears he may have to go around with a bag over his head until it grows again :D

[marieb]

:D:D:D:D:D that i can believe.

[mancha70@hotmai]

yes i agree with the majority, arched looks better !!
