That will depend on many things. Some horses are born with grey hairs in their tails, that's called a 'Skunk tail'. Other horses carry the grey gene which will turn them from a darker color to a light shade of grey over time. For those with the Grey gene it can take as little as a year or up to nearly the horses entire life to turn grey, including their manes and tails.

Pretty long. People usually pull their horse's mane to keep it from getting long and straggly.

How are horses recycled?

Its sad but most horses that are unwanted are killed and turned into glue. Their tail and mane hair are used for strings on violins. Some horses that are family pets, thankfully, usually die of old age. The family, or sometimes the vet, will bury them. Actually, they aren't turned into glue. That is the fatty waste. They are killed for the meat, which is considered a delicacy and is expensive in many counties. Also, the mane and tail hairs are used for the bow, not the strings. The strings are metal or nylon. The bow is used on violins, violas, cellos, and basses. I'm in orchestra, i should know. Horses don't have to be dead to get the hair. The hair will get loose sometimes, just like human hair. It pulls out easily, too.

Do horses have manes?

Yes, but it does not get very long, just about a few inches so it looks like it stands straight up on the neck. Most people descirbe their mane as a mohawk mane, because it sticks straight up and doesn't grow long like a horse's does.

How much were rocking horses in Victorian times?

500 hundred pounds. £500? That was more than the annual wage for very wealthy people. An old catalogue from 1900 shows that the largest, top of the range extra-carved bow rocker horse, beautifully made, with rippling mane and tail was in fact 100/- One hundred shillings, or £5. Smaller rocking horses started at well under £1. If this seems cheap, actually, it is. comparatively, rocking horses were much cheaper in real terms in Victorian times than they are now.


Searching for a horse shampooblue called bridles and bows also for human use discontinued but I think it was made by American Animal and health Co. It came in a white bottle with black bows.?

Hi! ;-) , Sorry for the ten-year-late answer! I was recently visiting an old cabin of ours; and...low and behold, found a bottle of this in the bathroom, dated 1996! I remember using Mane N' Tail Shampoo, etc.; but, not this one!! I took it home!!!...;-) The bottle is white with a pink front, a girl on a horse and a rope border with two bows at the top (all outlined in black)! Used it "first time" tonight!... Hair is still drying!!! :-);-) Hair definitely seems thicker... :-) May need a mild conditioner with it, even though it is a moisturizing shampoo I found!... Great for volume! I am rather a little partial to Mane N' Tail, which has rave reviews...for people..I'm guessing for horses too! Cowboy Magic also has 4 1/2 - 5 stars, like Mane N' Tail! Supposedly a miracle for dry/ damaged hair... Yay!!! Having some trouble finding this Bridles and Bows stuff online; but, the Cowboy Magic and Mane N' Tail products seem plentiful! Amazon is one of the retailers; and you can literally buy a whoppin' gallon of Mane N' Tail for, like, $23.99! Woohoo!! Good luck! Take care, now! ;-) Lisa

How old is jellal of Fairy Tail?

Gray Fullbuster is presumably around the same age as Natsu, which could be 17 or 18. They are at least a year younger than Erza, because she is their senior, being 19 years old. Gray and the crew should be around 24, but because of the events on Tenrou Island and because they were trapped in the Fairy Sphere, Gray, Lucy, Natsu, etc. remained to be the same age they were before Acnologia attacked.
