I don't think the Argie has a hair cut
the Argies can have uneven tails, similar to the Italian ponies
the dry ends always make the hair appear shorter. I'm sure with your TLC it'll look better
My Italy Parasol is quite faded too, but when you lift her mane up she's still pink underneath. She's pink under her belly and hooves too! The faded colour is pretty
I once saw one who was faded to white and she looked lovely!
