Blondies impromptu spring makeover


Well Blondie was taken for his usual visit up to the house for the kids (gandkids of landowner) to ride and love.

Well we have now had to take him back with a new hair cut............ Everywhere!
They have chopped his mane at different lengths (dont know if they were trying to make it look natural or what, his forelock has been blunt chopped quite short and his big beautiful thick tail is now just above his hocks! :(
We were all quite mortified when we found out, and their grandparents were very apologetic.

We had all the horses feet done today and while blondie was getting his pedicure i noticed they had taken to his rump with the scissors as there are a couple of very small chops out of his winter coat! 
Apparently he has also picked up some bad manners, Jessie found him a little bossy when bridling and doing up his girth so he is now staying with us for a while to sort him out.
We have combed out his mane and thinned it a little, but you can still tell its been cut with scissors. Mind you from what their grandmother has told me her poor horse came out worse off with her tail now only about 10 inches long and stepped in length. Will try get photos soon.
