The more I know about men, the more I like my horse(s)

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Pretty Pony, I do not think they meant that they docked the horses by removing any part of its dock.  The cases that I am aware of involves removing or cutting the horse's tail just below the dock.  There were also a number of cases out West (Alberta, Sask) were the horses' tail was stolen. Usually this is nothing more than a malicious act, however, the tail hair of a horse can be used to make violin bows so there was speculation that this may be an incentive. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#thats sick, I would freak if someone shot xena#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#last year or the year before a car drove through a fence and into a horse that my coach was training on thanksgiving... So she spent thanksgiving at the farm id'ing the horse because the owner does not live here. #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#That is so sad.  I hope they catch whoever did it and they spend some serious time in jail...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl# #ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl##ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#As far as the tail thing.... the first thing I thought of is that they're selling them.  AQHA people ALL have tails, and they've gotta come from somewhere. I'm ashamed to admit that we paid $300 for Abby's tail.  hers was off a dead horse though, the hide's still on the back and it looks real.  Normal "fakes" sell for about $150.  That sounds like motive to me...#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#
