Generally, if truth be told, I don't like horses that are 'gussied' up like this. Have you ever looked at the covers of some of the horse magazines? The horses even have their ears shaved and it looks like they have vaseline smeared around their eyes. This is why I like my hairy ponies in all their glory. No hoof polish, no tails that have been bagged or manes that are wrapped. I can't say for sure that's what is happening to this horse. But I watched a saddlebred enter a ring once just before a show. They carefully unwrapped the tail from it's bag and feathered it out behind the horse before the woman entered. Geesh... Wanda
