These wind blown plaits DO look very much like someone has plaited it,all the hair crossed over each other. Mine have had them for over 30 years and never stolen. They are more to the bottom of the mane than at the crest and are a B****R to get out! Sometimes I have had to snip a small piece of hair to get them undone. Try not to worry ,I'm sure thats all it is.
Just noticed that you have padlocked your stable door, don't mean to be a scaremonger but I would never padlock a horse in a stable in case of fire. Small risk I know but worries me more than the plait! |

Just read this, glad all ok! I am in Chesham area and my yard owner has been refencing fields, installing locks on everything, all entrances to yard fields etc as she was sure we were being targeted. I thought she may have been going over the top, but now glad she went to all the trouble. Hope they have settled in their new temp home. |

Horrible isn't it, I really feel for you all going through this awful fearful time whether it means anything or not I don't know but it has certainly put the wind up an awful lot of people.
It was a plait ~ 100% sure. Three people looked at it with probably the best part of 80 years experience between us and it wasn't one of those windblown things that she's had plenty of too, it was a plait. For two days afterwards you could see the kinks like a crimper ~ I plaited my hair for years when I was younger and I it was exactly the same as an undone tight symetrical plait. Ok maybe I may have over-reacted but I wasn't going to take any chances with my horses.
I'll post some pictures in a minute of them this morning !

Hello sweetie, glad you got here at last!
Arm completely up the creek given that I was supposed to be resting it for a fortnight but with everything that's gone on in the last few days that's gone to pot!
K and S are good thank you. They seemed to have settled down well and I'm surprised at her as thought she would be worried about lack of adult horses but she seems more than happy with her little man (or not so little, he seems to have grown huge since Christmas ! They are in a stable together which is quite cosy but fine for the moment, they are safe and that's the important thing.
The forecast is dreadful for the rest of the week so I don't think that any of us will be moving anywhere in any hurry !
Hope that your arm is ok, we do rather need them with all this manual stuff we do!
Jen xx
