Cerainly! My Arabians have manes, but I roach (=clip) the manes of my Akhal Tekes — the manes of this breed are very short and sparse, and they are often clipped to show off their long, elegant necks. Also the stable is in the desert, so roaching their manes gets rid of an extra heat source.
Here are some real life examples: [link] [link] [link]

Thanks for explaining! I love your style anyway! And the fact that you embrace soo much movement into one picture!! I suppose without the main they actually look normal, they are very pretty horses! My dream horse would be a welsh section D however or something along those lines tehe xx

Thank you! I prefer the desert-bred endurance breeds myself, but Welshies are certainly good mounts.
Akhal Tekes with manes still look very long and thin and distinctive — they are often said to be the greyhounds of the horse world. Here are some examples showing why they have that nickname:

Their coats are stunning! And i can see why they are called the greyhounds of the horse world! Such fine horses. I thought that thoroughbreds where fine, more on the back end with strong hind quaters! But they are just tiny! I think they are lovely! The first link is great.
But in honesty I prefer the bigger, bulkier horse cause they feel more safe to me lol :L <3

Yeah, they are definitely not the right horse for everyone. But I'm glad you see some of their beauty anyway, just like I can see the power and grace of heavier horses while still preferring Tekes and Arabs.
