Horses have manes primarily for protection against elements such as sun, rain, and insects. The mane can also serve as a form of communication between horses, helping with social interactions and displaying dominance. Additionally, the mane can provide stability and balance for the horse, especially during fast movements.
No, not all horses have manes. Some horse breeds, such as the Akhal-Teke and the Andalusian, are known for having less prominent or even absent manes.
The reason why Indians put feathers in the horse's mane was to show that theirs was a war horse. The feather was used to symbolize this.
Snowball destroys the ribbons because he views them as a symbol of human oppression and control, representing the decadence of human society that the animals are fighting against in Animal Farm. By removing the ribbons, Snowball is asserting the animals' independence and freedom from human influence.
horses and lions...1) Genus Equus - horses/ponies, donkeys, and zebras. Males and females have manes.2) Some species of the genus Hippotragus - antelopes, For example, the roan antelope and the sable antelope. From what I have found online, it appears that both sexes have a mane.3) Giraffa camelopardalis - the giraffe. I could not find any commentary that manes were limited to one gender.4) Camelus bactrianus - the Bactrian camel. Haven't been able to determine if both sexes have manes. Dromedary camels have somewhat more prominent hair along the ridge of their humps, but since manes are by definition around the head and/or neck, then this doesn't qualify.5) Panthera leo - the lion - but only males.6) Homo sapiens - us, males and females.7) Macaca silenus - the lion-tailed macaque, both genders.8) Chrysocyon brachyurus - the maned wolf. Both genders are thought to have manes.If you want to expand the question to "ruffs" - not quite "manes," but a fringe or frill of long hairs or feathers growing around or on the neck of an animal - then the list becomes exponentially longer.
Surprisingly yes
Not all wild horses have erect manes and not all domestic horses have 'floppy' manes. Some wild horses developed erect manes to help with camouflage and cooling. While domestic horses and other wild horses mainly have floppy manes to help shoo away bugs.
Yes, bay do horses have black manes or very very dark brown.

Buy a book and it will tell you. Most good books will have how to braid their manes and tails they should also have pictures to guide you.
Braid a horses mane like a persons hair, there isn't really anything different between the two.
Bay horses can be any size, as bay refers to a coloring of horse, in which their body is brown, and they have black manes, tails, and points.
Horses developed manes over time as a way to help shield themselves from flies.
No, horses manes are generally long unless thinned, cut (which you shouldn't do or it will grow back very thick) or hogged (cut very short like a zebra and it sticks up). Whereas a Zebras mane stays hogged all of its life.
