I was wondering when this was going to be brought up...

If done correctly, pulling a mane doesn't hurt them all that bad. I used to do it after a workout because the sweating opens up the pores and makes it a bit easier on both human and horse.

As for kicking a horse in the gut, I can honestly say that I've never done that before. I've pulled out the riding crop a few times when needed, but have never been ticked off so much as to drop kick a horse in the gut.
