[QUOTE="The AmberLynn, post: 1340778, member: 5099"] Here's the story: Tail of Arabian show horse cut in act of sabotage By JARREL WADE World Staff Writer Published: 10/29/2010 2:22 AM Last Modified: 10/29/2010 7:05 AM An Arabian show horse's tail was cut in an act of sabotage at the U.S. National Arabian and Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show at Expo Square, event officials confirmed Thursday. Arabian Horse Association Commissioner Bill Hughes said the organization is investigating the incident, but the haircut was certainly committed to do harm. "The hair was cut to the bone," Hughes said. "It's extremely short." The horse's owner declined to be interviewed or for the horse to be photographed to avoid a negative spotlight on the horse, Hughes said. During the competition, judges saw past the abrupt end to the horse's form and placed it in the "top ten" - a high grade in the world of show horse competitions, he said. Phil Jones, a surgeon at the Sapulpa Equine Hospital, said the horse's tail will grow back, but it could take six months to a year, depending on how long the tail was originally. "They grow hair at different rates. It could take a while," Jones said, but it didn't cause the animal any pain. "The horse didn't feel a thing." The U.S. National Arabian and Half-Arabian Championship Horse Show began Oct. 22 and runs through Saturday, with about 1,650 horses participating in 134 classes. The nine-day event is the grand finale of the Arabian horse national show season. Tickets are required for only the championship events held in the Pavilion Thursday through Saturday. The event has made a home in Tulsa's Expo Square since 2008 and will have an estimated $33 million economic impact to the area.
