Re: Dry Mane and Tail
I think you have convinced me to bag it next winter. I know what the mud does to dry out my hands so I'm sure it is contributing to the dryness of her tail. As for the modified braid in the upper skirt - do you have to unbraid it fairly frequently? I had left braids in her mane last summer for a few...

Fatcat - My mare also seems to get some pee on hers too! It seems worse in the winter with her blankets/tail flap.
I do wonder if the pee contributes to some of the breakage?

Re: What to do... horse at home, or horse at boarding stable?
In reading your post - my impression is you do not want to board your horse. She brings you daily joy. As for renting out your facility to a trainer, I would think that would be worse on you.
