Nearly two dozen horses had their manes cut off this past week at stables near Austin.
– KXAN“We had some horses go to a show. And afterward, the owners found cut pieces,” Kathy told KXAN. “And then we started basically searching the herd.”
Kathy said she feels like her privacy has been violated and has no idea why someone would break in to cut and steal horse mane hair. “He got like an inch and a half here chopped off in the middle of his mane. And he’s supposed to have a really long mane. This kind of messes things up for when we go to shows,” owner Melissa Lester said. “I’m probably just gonna have a hard time covering it up for photos and things like that.”Both women were also concerned with safety, noting that some horses are friendly while others are skittish.
