Totally ridiculous in my opinion. Horses look beautiful with their natural tails.

They look tacky and just plain stupid on a stock horse. Stop trying to make them look like they stole the tails off of Gypsy Vanners!

Why is it such a big deal if the tails come from slaughtered horses? When we hunt, we are encouraged to use as much of the animal as possible (we, personally, use every part except for the large/small intestine itself and its contents). Shouldn’t it be the same for animals slaughtered in slaughterhouses?
I am all for regulations put into place that make it as quick and painless as possible, but I am not for getting rid of it completely. I would rather a horse be sent to slaughter than be left to starve to death. It makes me sad because I do love horses and have one of my own, but they are slaughtered and eaten just like cattle, pigs, chickens, etc. I love cattle too. They are sweet, funny, and lovely to be around, but they are a major food source. Humans are omnivores and this is our solution to being terrible hunters.

Why can’t you just show your horse in its natural beauty? And I didn’t realize that the tail extensions come from slaughtered horses. That’s horrible. Horses should be shown as naturally as possible. That also goes for the stupid Western Pleasure headsets. You try walking that way!

not a fan of the extensions too fake I like a natural horse and the idea of someone cutting tails off of other horses to make a dollar is sickening

The pressing issue is shockingly avoided in both the article and the comments. These extensions come from horse who have been tortured to death in Canadian and Mexican slaughterhouses. That you can casually skip over that vital fact and support this barbaric industry is unbelievable. Here is where the extensions come from. This is just the stunning, not the butchering alive. Neither can I imagine putting the hair of a horse who’s been tortured to death, on my horse. As if he wouldn’t know. It’s like you or I wearing the skin of a serial killer’s victim. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ci4JiwdZkmE
