Manes and tails Rider brushing horse's mane Different horse owners have contrasting tastes when it comes to the manes and tails – and there are different rules according to different breeds.
The long-roached manes of Fjords clearly show the light, outside primitive guard hairs. The dorsal stripe runs through the mane and tail of a dun horse, so the center of the mane and tail are darker. The outer edges may be significantly lighter, even close to white. These paler hairs are seen at the base of the tail and on the edges of the mane.
With the exception of the domestic horses, which have long manes that lay over the neck and long tail hair growing from the top of the tailhead or dock, most equines have erect manes and long tails ending in a tuft of hair. [36] The coats of some equine species undergo shedding in certain parts of their range and are thick in the winter. [40]
