[QUOTE="sjr725, post: 319241, member: 4936"] I had the same thing last year - had a bunch of young calves in a pen and my horse actually backed himself up to the gate and the calves would lick his hind legs - I guess he liked that but in the process they ate his tail up just as high as they could reach! I asked my vet about the "hairballs" but he said it wouldn't hurt them. Fortunately my gelding has a touch of draft in him and he grows mane and tail hair like there's no tomorrow - his tail is back down to his fetlocks already! I didn't believe it either at first - until I saw them doing it! This year I've wired plywood to the gate so they can't do it again! [/QUOTE]
