Everything about The Forelock totally explained
The
forelock is a part of a horse's
mane, that grows from the animal's
poll and falls between the ears and onto the forehead. Some equines, such as ponies, have a naturally thick forelock, while other breeds (such as many
Thoroughbreds) have a thinner forelock. The forelock is thought to help keep irritants out of the horse's eyes. However, should it pick up debris such as burrs, it could be more irritating than helpful. Therefore, it should be cleaned if it collects objects.
It is usually braided for some competitions, such as
dressage and
hunt seat riding shows. Other breeds, such as the
Andalusian, are usually shown with a long, full, and combed forelock rather than braided. The forelock may also be
roached (shaved off) in some competitions such as
polo.
Forlock or
Forelock is also slang for a human hair style popular in the 1980s.
