That was my first time learning about the phenomenon of moustached equines. As far as I know, moustaches are mostly found in hairy breeds like Gypsy Vanners and Shires. However, this has been sprouting on Kachina's upper lip as of late:
It's not as glorious as some in the article above, but it's definitely there, and it didn't used to be. See below for bare-lipped photos from both winter and summer in past years
Will it grow? Will it shed out with winter hair? Who knows, I sure don't. Monthly Moustache Watch might need to become a thing. (Btw, you officially have permission to laugh at my majestic moustached mare, it is pretty ridiculous lol)
Omg haha 😂
ReplyDeleteYep haha
DeleteMaybe she's getting menopausal?
ReplyDeleteMy last gelding used to sport a decent winter stache. I spent lots of time twirling it.
Do horses get menopausal? I've never thought about that
DeleteEeeeheeeehee! Reddums gets a 'stache in the winter and I love playing with it and twirling it. He is... not so thrilled. Love this!
ReplyDeleteKachina's isn't quite long enough to twirl yet but I'm sure she wouldn't appreciate that either lol
DeleteYASSSS omg I love horse mustaches! So cute
ReplyDeletehuh interesting, never seen a horse moustache before
