There was a etsy designer that tresspassed and cut the hair off of the horses at a stable I worked at with out permition. I worked at the stable as a stable hand she ran in and hacked off the horses main and bits of it's tail stealing it to make her art made out of horse hair. police were called and the horse was not able to go to the horse show the fallowing day. The horses health was impacted as it could not fend off the bugs as it normally could and it made vet bills sky rocket almost getting sick due to the pests and nearly passing away due to it. We had to round the clock treat and chase what bugs we could away in order to bring the horse back. Its not funny and it's really bad for there health.

I had a horse rip out more than a third of its tail once because I turned the horse out with it’s tail braided up, trying to help it grow its tail longer, and the tail took over two years to grow back enough to where it could really get flies. During that time., I had to use fly spray on the horse, and a fly sheet to try to help it keep flies off of it. I also used a fly mask to try to help with keeping flies off of the face and the ears. Thankfully, that horse did have heard mates that were able to swap flies for it as well. However, it can take up to two years for a horse to grow back its tail depending on how much was lost.

A similar story happened a couple months ago where I live (Canada). Except the horse's legs had been beaten so badly by the entruders, the owner had to put the horse down. It was a retired horse too.. The owner think the incident happened because they had previously closed access to a trail (on their land) which was known to be used for drug deals

I'll add my two cents and recommend MTG oil if you can find some around. Not too expensive. Apply to dock and roots of mane AFTER the sun has gone down. Otherwise they get sunburn. The oil smells like a campfire, but it really helps with faster regrowth of hair and fur. I use it on my mare every 4 days to combat sweet itch, and I have noticed a significant increase in hair growth over time. You will probably notice a lot of dander coming from the treated areas, though. Best of luck to you and your horses. They are beautiful.

Why would they do that???!! Boggles my mind! What’s wrong with people now a days?!!!

It's a possibility, but it's likely expensive as those are usually only used for western pleasure class show horses. In addition, even if it's put on them with the best intentions, the horse might do something with it that destroys it for example horses that get blanketed in the winter will often find a way to destroy said blanket via tearing it on accident, playing with another horse, or even deciding they don't want it on and trying to get it off without hands to do so (as an example a family friend just yesterday went out and found one of their horses wearing its blanket like a cape)

I've owned horses for 50 years, and Ok, while I don't condone what was done, it not anywhere as traumatic as the owner implies. Horses have their manes cut all the time, and some even their tails, and both WILL grow back and it won't take all that long. Not sure about tails, but manes usually grow back thicker than before. And if she doesn't want to use fly spray, which she should be doing anyway tails or no tails, she can buy fly sheets to put on the horses.

Tails take a LONG time to grow back, years. It takes a year for a hoof to fully grow out from the coronary band. How can you have horses for 50 years and not know these things??

To be fair, if someone sneaks up on you in the middle of the night and starts hacking at your neckhair with scissors, that is quite scary for a horse that doesn't know you.

This happened to us in Beavercreek, OR in the 80s. They cut the manes off all but 1 of 19 Morgan horses. Fortunately, they didn't take the tails, but most were show horses and they looked pretty bad. They appeared to have abused one mare by kicking her in the belly. It was painful to the touch. Sorry this lady and her horses experienced tis.

So scary to know that people are creeping around your animals at night. Maybe put bells on the fences or an area they would cut through. Get a dog that barks when strangers are around.

Don't look traumatized.

those poor horses!

That’s terrible! I really hope they get caught!

If anyone has had their horse's manes or tails cut, i would suggest taking a page out of Walter Farley's books. In "The Black Stallion's Filly" Black Minx lost most of her tail in a barn accident and to help her get over the trauma (so they could teach her how to load into a starting gate) they took the shed mane and tail hair from many horses and made a fake tail for her out of it.

I don’t think what the trespasser(s) did was okay by any means BUT does this really need to be on the news?

I agree, you can just get a tail bag with fringe on it to keep the flies away. It isn't life threating to have a few flies on them

Tail extensions and braiders...put fly sheets on them if you won't control your flies....

😢 I'm so sorry for the horses.😢

This is so sad!!! :( Would it be possible to get extensions? These beauties are in their last years and should be as comfortable as possible. The cruelty and selfishness of some people is abhorrent.

It is possible the horses chewed off each other's tail. My horses did that one year. The boss mare was really mean and could kick like a mule, so there is no way a stranger was going to walk into her pasture and cut off her tail. They were all healthy, with plenty of forage and room to roam. They are on my property where I live, so I interact with them every day. One day their tails were above their hocks. They never did it again. I never figured out why. And a horse's tail being cut off is not traumatizing. A horse being tied up and slaughtered is. This is a phenomenon that has been happening in recent years. People go to pastures at night where someone keeps their horses. The next time the owner shows up, a horse is still alive, tied to a tree, and another horse has been stabbed in the chest and quartered.

That was NOT a chewed off tail…😖 That’s a cut. A stolen horse tail…..I’ve seen it before and I do not know why sick people do this…

I suspect it is because pwners of horses have been inundating social media with videos of them doing this to their own horses. Somehow conveying a sense of permissiveness and righteousness to those watching. Particularly to those that lack the ability to reason sufficiently.

Vicious theft and animal abuse. Perhaps bullies or jokesters, and finally, cowards.

People steal horse's tails and manes to use as extensions for show horses. Perhaps the colouring of your horses matched their show horses.

Although it was wrong to do, it does not hurt the horse at all and it will grow back. People have been shaving off the mane and cutting the tail hair short on horses for thousands of years. Most horses ridden in the English disciplines, have their mane and tail cut short.

I think she means they were traumatized by whoever snuck into their paddock? But honestly, unless they were left out with halters on ( a HUGE no no! Very dangerous) and held by the being that cut their hair…. Horses have that innate fight or flight nature to ward off predators. I’m guessing they made friends with a loose goat. 🤷‍♀️

Trimming the last couple of inches off to give the end of the tail an even appearance is not the same as taking off two feet of flyswatter that will literally take years to grow back.

Why is this on the news. The only crime committed is simple trespassing. It does not hurt the horses to have their mane and tail cut, it’s a common thing to do actually. The hair will grow back.

I can walk up to darn near any horse and pet them. Many horses are quite social. It didn't have to be someone they knew.

Sorry to point this out, but the black and white horse has a heavily matted area in her mane. Should be brushed out. Mats bother horses. Matted manes and tails can't swat tails. As a horse owner for many years, I agree that tails help immensely, but so does that poison she was talking about, fly spray. Flies and other insects, like mosquitoes, eat up horses and drive them crazy doing so. Fly spray is a must. No, looking at these horses, someone probably cut the mats out of their tails to help them. She needs to get put some conditioner in their manes and tails, groom them regularly, and provide fly spray regularly during fly season.

I noticed that too; these horses haven't been groomed in a few months at least to get mats that bad. The horses will do fine with short tails; I have appys without tails and they somehow survive lol

Not to say that this isn’t horrible, but some people dock the tails of large draft horses. I dont understand why people do that to dogs and horses at all. But there’s always an issue when it comes to altering animals. Initially I thought that someone cut off the tail and not just the hair.

@spottedsaddlebredparaplegicpup

5 ай бұрын

They dock the draft horses’ tails because they’re working horses and they don’t want the tails to get caught up in equipment and injure the horses. Do I think horses should still be used for labor when we now have tractors and other equipment? No. But the Amish still use them and people who compete because they want to preserve that history do it for practicality/safety reasons because a tangled tail in equipment is going to pull on their tails and ultimately damage their spines.

What a terrible thing to do!

Dear Lord, how much lower can this world sink?! 💔 I pray the miscreant(s) will be caught & justice served! 😢😤

I would end up in jail if I ever caught someone doing that

This such a horrible & sad story, ppl are just disgusting & I pray those horses are protected 🙏

Mess with a man's horse or dog and you're going to be hurt! It's the code of the Old West! 🤠🐎

It’s going to take the horses like 4 years to grow back their tails. There’s a lot of variables that can change growth speed of the hair. But on average every 15 days a horse grows 1 cm of hair; and the black lost 2 feet almost 61 cm of hair alone. The paints tail looked worse, but she didn’t mention how much was lost. Plus even regrown the tails might not be the same before being cut. When you have to spray them I hope you can find something that is natural, and not some chemical mix to use. Hope they find the culprit.
