In the field across from us there is this arab mare and her owner fell out with this woman. That night the woman came over and cut the tail off the arab!!
I know what I would have done to her if she cut off my horses tail. It takes ages to grow back when they aren't youngsters.
Oh that's just nasty and spiteful....but I'm not doing it to spite anyone! I need fidget to look her best as I plan to put her on the market in the spring....yes I know the tail will be back then but I need her experienced and out and about now and it does help to sell if the horse comes with accolades. PLUS I wouldn't be happy to sell her onto another showie knowing that she hadn't had experience with going out to shows and learn't to keep cool! Picture this...14yr old schooling marvellous at home, takes pony out and pony is unmanageable because they are overexcited coz they havn't been anywhere. Sorry Rachiesmifx not havin a go at you...I guess I just like perfection
Just posting to say that Fidget has been sold ahead of schedule mmmm I did manage to find a falsey for her and we were approached by a lady and her wonderful teenage daughter and now Fidget is out and about with her. Another Happy ending 8)
I think you shouldn't because it's just a look. Maybe if you do a show or something just put one over the top of it. Wouldn't you cut the bone or something if you did do it?
8) Thanks Meggymoo, Its ok Rachluvshorses4eva, I didn't mean cut the dock off, I was considering cutting the hair length of tail to make a falsey but I managed to get a second hand false tail for fidget while out showing....so alls well that ends well
I have an appaloosa and we all no that most of then have rubbish tails lol but anyways I have and old mate of mine he is probly in his 70s I think anyway he has been around horses for ages and I talked to him bout my appys tail problem to get it to grow and thicken up and he said peanut/peanut butter oil from coles or wherever you get you normal oil you cook in....i tryed and applyed it and her tail is lookin really good!!! Maybe you could try that first instead of looseing your other mares tail
