FIlly's mane laid over at 8 months
In my experience, horses have manes that stand up until after 2 years old. This filly, however, has her mane turned over at 8 months!

Mane layover (like most of the genes on HWO) can be bred for.Diamond Filly wrote:In my experience, horses have manes that stand up until after 2 years old. This filly, however, has her mane turned over at 8 months!

The earliest I've had mine lay over, was I think 3 or 4 months of age.

Certainly surprised me at that time!

Interesting isn't it?
As another little tidbit, you can also have a newborn foal take on the adult 'image' of a horse pretty early too. As in, they can look very adult-ish even before hitting a yearling.

Just remember the HWO most basic rule for breeding.Diamond Filly wrote: Wow, okay! I've had a couple more since I posted this as well!
"Things you don't want, cull out, things you do want, breed in."
It'll pretty much get you to wherever you want to go.

Yes, I believe I've had a colt whose mane laid over at 2 months old! I clicked on him and I was like "I thought he was supposed to be a baby..."BlackOak2 wrote:Mane layover (like most of the genes on HWO) can be bred for.Diamond Filly wrote:In my experience, horses have manes that stand up until after 2 years old.
