Show horses wearing mascara; little girls to blame
Quote:
Horses are being “plastered with make-up” to make them prettier and “pull the wool over judges’ eyes” at equine competitions.
The show horses are being artificially enhanced using beauty products including equine foundation, highlighter gel, tints and false tails and forelocks.
David Tatlow, 76, a retired horse breeder, blamed children for pressuring their parents into using the products.
"I’ve never felt the need to plaster my horses with bloody mascara."
Horse make-up can be used to cover “marks and scars”.
