The mare had a thick unruly mane. I called her a week before I was supposed to braid and said that I could come over and pull it for her (I've done this horse in the past.) She said that she had worked with another woman in the barn and it was in great shape... no need for me to come over. When I got there she brought out the horse and showed me the shearing scissors she used to thin the horse's mane. It was like braiding a shag hairdo!

The guy who did stalls saw me working on it, and decided to "help" by CUTTING THE FORELOCK STRAIGHT ACROSS WITH SCISSORS AFTER I LEFT FOR THE DAY. I was horrified. Another time, in college, the team was getting ready to take a handful of horses to IHSA Nationals. One girl clipped an Arab-style FOOT-LONG bridle path on one of our best hunter horses. I thought my coach was going to murder her.

I would do the same if Nilla could grow a mane, but I like the mohawk look on her. As for worst grooming decision I've seen lately, Kate from Incidents of Guidance showed me a picture of the horrible clip job one of her kids did to her horse and it was crazy bad.
