I got my horse in September and over last winter he wore a rug with a neck piece. He ended up with his mane basically falling out and becoming very thing and short for about 10inches from the withers up.
I have only just got his mane back in good condition by rubbing babyoil into the base of his mane every so often.
However now he has been clipped again and has his rug on,the same thing is happening.
Is there any tips you could give me to keep his mane in good condition? At the minute i am brushing it and scratching his neck to kind of keep the circulation going if you know what i mean and also putting babyoil on it.
Any tips would be welcomed, thanks.
PS i am not in a position to change his rug, it is not to small, i.e. doesnt press down tightly on his neck so i dont really know why the mane is thin.
Thanks
