Grooming kits a 'No No' for Alfie!

Trimming, pulling and grooming is all something we are familiar with but ever thought of your horse growing a moustache?

Alfie and his seven inch golden curls of moustache could quite possibly be the longest in Britain. Stable manager, Hayley Coxteth has tried all the grooming accessories but Alfie has become extremely attached to the overgrown hair on his top and bottom lip.

‘He is a real character. A few years ago it was really big and full but it now looks a little scraggy because it's so long.

'It was bizarre when I first saw it and my first inkling was we need to shave it off. But he does not let you anywhere near it.’

The stallion that is kept in Gloucestershire has been growing the moustache for five years and is happy to be ridden as long as he can keep it explained Hayley.

So horse owners, grooming kits at the ready if you want your horse to be sporting to new equestrian look.
