10 Readers Who Are Up to Their Eyeballs in Horse Hair

I think it’s safe to say that spring is hair, er, here.

For this week’s 24-hour photo challenge, we wanted to see photographic evidence that your horses were shedding. What we received was a cry for help from all across Horse Nation, as our readers try to figure out just what to do with all of this hair.

A sure sign of spring at the barn. If I had the patience I could make paint brushes with this much #horse hair! #horsenation #springtime #horsesofinstagram #equuine #equus
