Any opinions on how many inches a horse tail grows per year?
Poor Nicky; his new nickname is "Bucktail Bob." Nicky acquired burrs in his tail and mane; I thought we had ridded his pasture of them all, but after a recent windstorm he rolled in a bunch of them, plus rolled up a bunch of fallen cedar needle thingies into his mane/tail to really knot things up. I did pretty good picking some out of his mane but had to cut some of them out. Then I was working on his tail; the husband and I miscommunicated--after Nicky gave me a little kick in the face, because I wasn't paying attention ...not Nicky's fault.
I didn't realize how high up into his tail Nicky had burrs and was having trouble working my small scissors and told my husband to cut straight across horizontally.
...poor guy (Nicky, not the husband.) Nicky's tail is rather short. I'm just glad we screwed up after fly season.
Growth rate, anyone?
