Hair Styles and Me

Dear Readers, 


It's a sunny Sunday in Wickersham and we've a trail ride to enjoy, but I wanted to take a quick moment to answer this pressing question: have I, Fenway Bartholomule, ever appeared with my mane intact?


Karen W. writes, "Great pictures! Looks like a fun outting too. I'm curious Fenway, does Farmwife roach your mane? I just realized I've never seen a mule wearing a long mane, are they always shaved, or do you not grow mane?"


Karen, most mules have a sparse mane. This means, for most of us, that a roach is the way to go. The exception to this rule would be the case of the ewe-necked mule, or the mule whose topline is so unFenwayish as to require a little bit of illusory additional width. 



Here is a photo of me, Fenway, when I still belonged to the neighbors and had my mane and tail intact. You'll note that I had a nice, fluffy little mane, and a long, beautiful tail, but that the big picture is a bit more casual than my current classic look. 




I have a busy day of playing, braying, shining and dining in store for me, so I'll leave off here. Until next time!


Your friend,
Fenway

  4. You're too kind! Anonymous, never fear . . . I can grow it back at the drop of a hat. I may do that one day, but for now FarmWife is having too much fun with the scissors and mustn't be stopped.
