What is the term for a mane that is cut so that part remains standing upright?

The term for a mane that is cut so that part remains standing upright is referred to as a roached mane. This grooming style involves shaving the mane close to the horse’s neck, leaving a portion of hair that is typically retained in a standing position along the top of the neck. This style is often used for various purposes, including practicality in riding and showing, as well as for aesthetic considerations, giving the horse a sleek and tidy appearance.

In contrast, other options do not accurately describe this specific grooming style. A long mane simply refers to hair that has not been clipped significantly and hangs down freely. A shaved mane usually implies the complete removal of hair from the mane, rather than the specific styling associated with a roached mane. A short mane also lacks the characteristic upright section found in a roached mane, typically indicating a mane that has been cut back substantially but without the styling distinct to the roach.
