Comments on: Horse’s mane and tail cut off in an act of vandalism https://www.horseillustrated.com/horse-news-2014-07-24-horses-mane-and-tail-cut-off/ Sat, 06 Feb 2021 05:52:32 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.1 By: Livia https://www.horseillustrated.com/horse-news-2014-07-24-horses-mane-and-tail-cut-off/#comment-426675 Sat, 06 Feb 2021 05:52:32 +0000 /horse-news/2014/07/24-horses-mane-and-tail-cut-off.aspx#comment-426675 This is sick and cruel. No animal should ever have to go through this. Who ever did this had to have been jealous of that beautiful horse. He is so handsome. I’m pretty sure that this person was sick enough to think that he/she could get something out of this. I recommend putting up cameras or something to keep this from happening again.

I have several rescue horses there with special needs (Insulin Resistance – no high protein feed) and this blonde non-horse woman keeps messing with my horses and their food. At first, she meant well, but after seeing her disregard for my instructions I have advised her to leave my horses the F alone. Just 2 days ago, she was bragging about giving my 20 yr old Welsh pony a hair cut. She did not ask permission but whacked off his forelock and 2 feet of mane. I am livid and determined to get this person to STAY OFF the property and to NEVER touch one of my horses again. When I told her that I never cut a horse’s mane, she asked why? I said if you were a horse person you wouldn’t have to ask and besides they are my horses so stay AWAY from them. She just smirked at me. I am posting more no trespassing signs and will call the police with photo evidence. I doubt this will deter her or that the police will do anything, so suggestions, welcome.

After so many people discovered this the fund was immediately removed. People should not be taken in by this.

But with laws the ways they are today that would never happen. I am so sorry for what was done to your beautiful animal.

I am a horsewoman with over 60 yrs experience. I’m working with apple cider vinegar sprayed on my horses feed (7 pumps from a spray bottle} twice a day. It changes their body chemistry just enough that flies rarely land on them and those that do leave quickly. It might help Dusty ’til his tail grows out. 2 of my horses are hypp/p and the acv doesn’t harm them.
