Following my post last year about manes being pleated it has happened AGAIN to my Arab mare but also this time to my other mare. Police and Horse Watch have been contacted. Police have informed me that there has been a few other reports in Fife of this happening including a horses tail being cut with torches being seen at night in field. My OH was up at the yard a couple of times the night after it happened and one of the times he seen torches in field..went to investigate but couldn't see anyone. We have poaching that goes on near our yard so could have been them with torches but you always have to be on the safe side.
Before anyone comes back and mentions that these could have been the whirls that horses often get in manes with the wind...they weren't. My arab mare often gets these with her long mane but these are different. And it happened before these strong winds hit us!!
What a welcome home now there at their new place!!!!
Argh not again! Poor you, what a nightmare. There were a couple of horses plaited around here two months back (borders) so I'll spread the word. Fingers crossed for you that nothing comes of it. Such a worry.
They have been in the last couple of nights cause of weather but was even panicking at that as easier for people to take them from stables than is from field. Police said they are going to patrol area more and I have made up a letter with my number to put through surrounding houses doors asking them to phone me is see anything suspicious.
WARNING IN FIFE - UPDATE
