That’s actually a great question, and yes, I have! Eventually, the horses will snag them on something, or, if they’re really long, a horse might step on one while grazing and pull it out. Mostly, I spot the grey/white mane hair, but just recently, I found a short strand of black.
An odd question, Have you ever found fairy knots on the ground while out watching the mustangs?

Do you take them home? I think that would be so cool.
No. I think the birds would make better use of them in their nests. π
They would make an excellent addition to a nest. βΊοΈ
Fairy knots?? Pieces of the horse’s mane??? Never heard them called that – but then no wild horses right here either!
Fairy knots, witch’s knots, wind knots … simply braids. All sorts of names for their nature-caused tangles.
Super description!
Pretty Alegre framed by beauriful mustang parts – faces and necks and rumps! Wonderful photo, TJ.
I just saw her last night. She still has her fairy braids and is looking beautiful. π
What a very beautiful gal! I love her also!
She’s very refined. Beautiful mare. π
Donβt see pictures of her often. But what a great shot!
She’s an old hand at avoiding the photographer. π

So sweet! All gathered together!
Surrounded by family. π
