What I meant to post about yesterday (Chrome's haircut)!

On a happier note!  Yesterday before the scare with the maple leaves I gave Chrome the haircut I had been debating.  It's gone!  It's all gone!  I couldn't find my clippers (I hate moving), so I used scissors.  I know some of you are cringing, but I think it turned out alright.  Here are the pictures. Let me know what you think!  Oh and if you can't see his mane (or lack of) you can click the pictures to enlarge them.

Left side.

Right side.

 Head on.  The really cool thing, which I didn't notice until I cut it off, is that one side of his mane was black and the other side was white!  You can kind of see it in the above shot.  So cool!  Also I didn't cut his bridle path all the way because I love his thick forelock (it isn't actually thick, it's just appears to be because his mane hangs forward over his forelock).  That's why the halter is sitting on the long hair.  I might finish trimming the bridle path if it causes problems with his bridle.  :)

 

Hiding behind a tree so the girls can't see his nakedness.  Just kidding, he was eating the longer grass that got missed by the mower.  :)

His chest still seems narrow to me.  Will it widen anymore?  He's four and a half already.  Maybe he's just a narrow horse.

Donkey was harassing him.  So cute! 

 

 

At first (especially while cutting it off) I was a little unsure if I liked it, but after taking a hundred pictures (yeah aren't you glad I didn't post all of them??) and hanging out with him for four hours raking and burning maple leaves I really like it.  He looks a little naked, but I think it looks great!  I can't wait for it to grow into an adorable little Mohawk.  :D
