normally for RC dressage if its a highland Id leave mane & tail natural and anything else would have the mane plaited.

What to do with Skye hmmmmmm...

So she is a highland but not one person thinks she looks like one haha, she is very different even to brook who isnt that heavy for a highland. Skye looks more cross bred or chunky connemara type with good feathers! Her mane is about 4 inches long from her poll down to about 1 /3 way along her neck, then there is a long section of nothing.... nada... completely bald, then a few inches of a couple inches long near her withers. Would you plait what’s there or...?

this is the pic i have that shows it best - look away if squeamish, we are looking at a dead badger eek

I'd hog it off along with the feathers and let the whole lot grow back properly If it were me. Good time to do it with the changing of coats etc.
