Im 100% on the side of cutting mane with scissors, if its done well you can see a difference, and it has been proven that pulling does actually cause horses pain/stress
I honestly thought Pulling a man was left in the early 2000s 😂😂 But I guess the UK is a little old school on that. The same with the cutting of the tail hair all the way at the top, the one that makes the tail look all thin and weird 🤦♀
Tip, if you rake, turn the mane over and rake the underneath, that way the short bits are under, that's what I used to do so no one would know I cheated and cut instead of pulled.
Lmao when you showed Ettie who was watching, I could see her thought process. "I saw what you did to my mum's hair when you gave her a makeover, you stay away from my glorious mane." 🤣 I can never forget the result of Millie's makeover way back when. Glad to see Bear enjoys it all though! Great job. ❤
Not going to lie, the mane could have been sooooooo much worse 😂 Absolutely loves these videos. Was smiling the whole time! Lovely to see Bear back in the spotlight!! xx
Hahaha I miss those pony makeover moods that you lose all energy for halfway through 🤣 The trick with a comb + scissors you alllmost started doing really does work! You need a comb with much closer and longer teeth though, and push a couple of layers up then leave the comb stuck in the mane while you do a first cut, take the comb out and blend the rest in👌
So fun wathing the two of you! The dynamic is briĺliant! Bear looked so pleased to be the center of attention and must be such a reliefe for her getting all that fur of! ❤❤
OMG this was hysterical! Reminds me of me and my friend when she kept her horse at my place. We had THE BEST TIME doing random, mundane things just like this. You guys are lucky to have each other. And Bear looks FINE. I mean, could it be more refined? Yeah. But SHE doesn't care, and she will be more comfy. And she definitely no longer looks feral! WIN!
Oh the pain of a beautiful thick native mane! My childhood pc pony was a welsh x shetland and let me tell you hairdresser’s thinning scissors are your friend!
You 100% need to keep Bear. With your other horses you have big ambitions so have to have some level of seriousness while training them every time. With Bear you can have so much fun without having to worry about any of that and just enjoy the madness. I imagine it can be quite easy to forget to have fun along the way
Dont get me wrong, I love the training vids, show vlogs and stuff but its so fun to get just a silly video with you two beeing goofy! I LOVED this vid so much
OM word !!!😂😂😂😂If that wasn't so hilarious would have been horrifying. Sat in my bed mouth catching-flies-wide-open . Every time you said it I felt it ! Han in the background wetting herself ... Thank GOD it grows back .. oh No,!! Here come the clippers!! We are sending help Bear ! ❤️❤️ from 🇨🇦
Meg, please buy a solocomb it gives the illusion of a pulled mane without being pulled - no more scissors needed and it's so easy and no sticky up pieces that raking gives :D
Reminds me of when I decided to use my freshly bought dog clippers to 'trim' my springer spaniel and the first cut I did I put a valley between her ears 🫣🤣🤣 I had to then give her a full clip... my husband thought we had a new dog when he came back from work 😂😂😂
Ha! I did the same to my guy's mane today. (Also named Teddy. and 1/2 Welsh D) We aren't going anywhere and I have quit pulling manes. Quick and easy and no stress. His fall clip is very close to Bear's, just a little higher up his barrel.
I'd have used good quality thinning scissors as they give a more natural edge than ordinary scissors, but definitely agree that cutting the mane is better than pulling it.
I do exactly the same thing with my horse's mane - I hate pulling and with a couple of days you can make it look just as good without causing them discomfort. Sometimes traditional ways of doing things need to die when there's a better solution available!
Knotty Horse Apricot Oil Detangler works miracles!! I don't know if it's available in your part of the world, but I highly recommend it, if you can get it.
If you are using the trimmer, don't go against the hair. Go with the hair, I use them, and going the hair will take off the same length as the cilpper. This could be different for other trimmer, but I have used the same ones as yours 😊
I loved how fluffy she looked beforehand, but I'm glad that the cut will let Bear be more comfortable as the weather warms up. The shave is wonky, but I think the mane came out really well. I'm so excited to see her return to the channel!!
Pulling thins the mane and many horses actually like it. But some don't and I respect their wishes. My part bred Welsh hates having his mane even brushed so I use a soft brush gently through it. I could never pull it, he would cry, which is why it is past his neck but looks beautiful. No plaiting for him.
I actually love that you don't pull her mane, my welshie hates it too so I solocomb and rake, no need stressing them out - even if people tell you to "make them get on with it" :/
Omg, u have the same clippers as I use for my dog, the ones u used for her face!! Good aren't they!! Still watching so haven't seen the result yet!! 🤣🤣❤️❤️
So fun to have you, Han, and Bear in a vlog together. ❤ Bear is just so patient to put up with all the shenanigans😅❤. I'm so excited to have her back on your channel! Also, how's Dee doing? Would love an update on her little prego self. 😊
12.45am.. Laying in bed snorting quietly as tears roll down my face as I Iaughed at your hilarious video with your sidekick Hannah!!!! You'll have to ride her plaited, in a double bridle & a dressage saddle to hide your 'chopping & blending' lol (the pony not Hannah)!! 😉
It’s rlly annoying my friends favourite pony at the yard got put down yesterday. Her name was Mrs dusty because there were several dusty sat that yard. Fly high my sweet angel, Mrs dusty 😍🕊️❤️💖
Oh. Meg, but as bad as Bear looks, it’s still not as bad as Sally’s haircut. You will never live that one down. As long as she is more comfortable that’s all that matters xx
I never pull my horse’s mane - he absolutely hates it - regular-ish trimming and snipping up into the mane ends and I don’t think anyone would know it’s done by scissors - the odd mistake grows out pretty quickly🙂
Im 100% on the side of cutting mane with scissors, if its done well you can see a difference, and it has been proven that pulling does actually cause horses pain/stress
I cut my horses and pulled it a bit after bc of how thick it is but totally agree
I agree but pulling my pony’s mane actually calms him ❤
Always heavily exercise your horse before pulling mane, it opens up the follicles for easier hair removal👍🏼
I cut and i have thining shers to make it look pulled but I don't like pulling
I honestly thought Pulling a man was left in the early 2000s 😂😂 But I guess the UK is a little old school on that. The same with the cutting of the tail hair all the way at the top, the one that makes the tail look all thin and weird 🤦♀
You're making me miss having barn friends to be silly with, it's fun seeing you have such a good time 😊
Tip, if you rake, turn the mane over and rake the underneath, that way the short bits are under, that's what I used to do so no one would know I cheated and cut instead of pulled.
Amazing to see bear slowly making a return! Love these kind of unserious, funny vlogs.
Lmao when you showed Ettie who was watching, I could see her thought process. "I saw what you did to my mum's hair when you gave her a makeover, you stay away from my glorious mane." 🤣 I can never forget the result of Millie's makeover way back when.
Glad to see Bear enjoys it all though! Great job. ❤
LOVED this. I smiled all the way through this. You guys mucking around and having a laugh makes me feel the joy. Bear was SO good (and tolerant! )🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bear is such a good horse, I love seeing you and Han laughing! Its brillant, I bet Bear feels ten times better and cooler! Great Video Meg! xxx
Awww Bear Bear!! So glad you both are back to do Bears vlogs. It’s the OG team back together❤❤
So excited to see Bear back in work ❤
Not going to lie, the mane could have been sooooooo much worse 😂 Absolutely loves these videos. Was smiling the whole time! Lovely to see Bear back in the spotlight!! xx

Absolutely LOVING the more “vloggy” type videos ❤❤
Why would Hannah allow Meg to combine scissors and a mane! Have we not learnt anything 😂😂
Cant wait to see her in future videos again.
Loving all the Bear content! The makeover was still an improvement, and Bear is adorable regardless of a bad hairdo ❤
OMG too flipping funny! You two were like a pair of naughty pony club kids 😂😂😂😂 brilliant but poor Teddy!😂
So fun wathing the two of you! The dynamic is briĺliant! Bear looked so pleased to be the center of attention and must be such a reliefe for her getting all that fur of! ❤❤
Lol Han as soon as the vid started had food in her cheeks like a chipmunk 😂😂😂❤❤
Always time for mini eggs 😂😂😂😂

Bear's giving "yass I'm the centre of attention again!!!" vibes 😍

Awwww Bear enjoying The Salon is so precious 😂❤
I love this vlog it really brings me back to the old vlogs which were my fav
Can’t wait to see bear back in work she’s has a amazing journey ❤
Ohhh Poor Bear, feel so sorry for her
Dont get me wrong, I love the training vids, show vlogs and stuff but its so fun to get just a silly video with you two beeing goofy! I LOVED this vid so much
You and Han together just messing around is my fav kind of video 😂
OM word !!!😂😂😂😂If that wasn't so hilarious would have been horrifying. Sat in my bed mouth catching-flies-wide-open . Every time you said it I felt it ! Han in the background wetting herself ... Thank GOD it grows back .. oh No,!! Here come the clippers!! We are sending help Bear ! ❤️❤️ from 🇨🇦
Great video Meg. Bear is back!
So loved seeing you and Han having fun ❤
What fun!! Bear looks cute no matter how you clip her!
I absolutely love you and Han as a duo. And I agree with cutting mains I just can't do it very well 🤣 xx
Meg, please buy a solocomb it gives the illusion of a pulled mane without being pulled - no more scissors needed and it's so easy and no sticky up pieces that raking gives :D
Hilarious. But, Bear will feel so much better. She looks great.
Reminds me of when I decided to use my freshly bought dog clippers to 'trim' my springer spaniel and the first cut I did I put a valley between her ears 🫣🤣🤣 I had to then give her a full clip... my husband thought we had a new dog when he came back from work 😂😂😂
Left handed scissors for manes I’ve found works! Rake it over, then chop then re rake 😅
Ha! I did the same to my guy's mane today. (Also named Teddy. and 1/2 Welsh D) We aren't going anywhere and I have quit pulling manes. Quick and easy and no stress. His fall clip is very close to Bear's, just a little higher up his barrel.
I'd have used good quality thinning scissors as they give a more natural edge than ordinary scissors, but definitely agree that cutting the mane is better than pulling it.
Aww she’s looks so good! She definitely deserved to have a spa day🩷
I do exactly the same thing with my horse's mane - I hate pulling and with a couple of days you can make it look just as good without causing them discomfort. Sometimes traditional ways of doing things need to die when there's a better solution available!

Oh dear! Poor Bear! 🫣😊
Loving the old style vlogs with you and Hannah❤

The fact you sung a Nanalan song made my freakin' year!! Mona is life lol
I loved how fluffy she looked beforehand, but I'm glad that the cut will let Bear be more comfortable as the weather warms up. The shave is wonky, but I think the mane came out really well. I'm so excited to see her return to the channel!!
Bear Will be SO much better when she's had her pamper. YOU two are just SO funny, BUT I addmeryou for all you do. TAKE care and all the best. 😄😄😄😄💟💖
Love the old style of the video❤
Pulling thins the mane and many horses actually like it. But some don't and I respect their wishes. My part bred Welsh hates having his mane even brushed so I use a soft brush gently through it. I could never pull it, he would cry, which is why it is past his neck but looks beautiful. No plaiting for him.
She is just a gorgeous pony ❤
I actually love that you don't pull her mane, my welshie hates it too so I solocomb and rake, no need stressing them out - even if people tell you to "make them get on with it" :/
NOOOO PUT THE SCISSORS DOWN.🤣 lol IDK I live in CA and i love a long mane. but I get it. You seem to be having fun.
How I’ve missed a casual vlog involving Bear 🥰🥰
Omg, u have the same clippers as I use for my dog, the ones u used for her face!! Good aren't they!! Still watching so haven't seen the result yet!! 🤣🤣❤️❤️
Looking foward to more bear bear videos!! ❤
Bear is such a cutie 🥰
So fun to have you, Han, and Bear in a vlog together. ❤ Bear is just so patient to put up with all the shenanigans😅❤. I'm so excited to have her back on your channel! Also, how's Dee doing? Would love an update on her little prego self. 😊
Love an OG VLOG!!!!
I tend to use the clippers on my fells mane. Scissors don’t touch the size 😂
12.45am.. Laying in bed snorting quietly as tears roll down my face as I Iaughed at your hilarious video with your sidekick Hannah!!!!
You'll have to ride her plaited, in a double bridle & a dressage saddle to hide your 'chopping & blending' lol
(the pony not Hannah)!! 😉
Lol I can say absolutely nothing because I've done the same chop on my pasture puff of a gelding!
Bear is more comfy now but it was funny and bears face was a picture XD
She looks adorable 🥰 ❤
Meg saying everyone going to be wincing but i do the same with my mares 😂 chop then neaten and no one can tell the differance!
Can’t wait to see Han riding bear 😮
Love Han’s high st hairdresser impersonation 😏
Omg yassss I watched your last video and just saying you are amazing and don’t worry you’ll get better😅 ❤
It’s rlly annoying my friends favourite pony at the yard got put down yesterday. Her name was Mrs dusty because there were several dusty sat that yard.
Fly high my sweet angel, Mrs dusty 😍🕊️❤️💖
Cutting in aluminiumfoil sharpens the scissors!! Also using tha scissors and not pulling is a good choice
Thanks for the tip! 😍
Love a fun makeover vid!
The intro was so funny
Ahhh I’m early ❤ can’t wait to watch I love ur channel so muchhhhh
Poor bear😂😂😂❤
Bear is a good sport 😂😂
I love these kinds of vlogs tysmmmm
Omg the Sam and Colby intro got me soo haaard!! 🤣😘
I love her with her fur in the winter but in the summer i like her all the way shaved exeot her legs i think it looks so good!
Hhhi soo excited for this one ❤❤❤❤
Our Elphick jumper is Bear. She is THE it girl. If you don’t love Bear, are you even a Elphick fan 😂
Oh no! Step away from the scissors Meg!😅
Yay ponies ! Was that the Jurassic Park theme tune 😂
Love this vlog ❤❤
Laughing myself silly watching this,,,how many bottles of wine did you have,,???,,,Bear looks super and says her mother is cock eyed ,lol,,,❤
i almost forgot you had ettie we need an update video on her and DD
Oh. Meg, but as bad as Bear looks, it’s still not as bad as Sally’s haircut. You will never live that one down. As long as she is more comfortable that’s all that matters xx
Am I first?!! I love your vids meg
I could never get rid of my horses mane. I love it long
It looked like Bear had turned into a statue she was so still, it was like she was thinking what are they doing.
Ai ai, i would'nt bring my horse to your spa instalation🤣
Any thoughts on testing Bear for PSSM? Might help explain the explosive behavior and Welshies are predisposed.
I never pull my horse’s mane - he absolutely hates it - regular-ish trimming and snipping up into the mane ends and I don’t think anyone would know it’s done by scissors - the odd mistake grows out pretty quickly🙂
If we're not here for Meggy's Patented Dodgy Mane Technique, why are we even here!? (Totally kidding, honestly it typically comes out fine!)
This is so fun!! I love it ❤❤😂
Meg is ettie ever going back into work? You and Han are so funny
I would love to see Harlow riding Bear
Brad mondo is needed here.. BRAD x
Are you gonna event her this season or do a couple small competitions this season with her?
I love horse.
