Their Tails Chopped Off<\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019ve \u200dheard that in the Wild West, they hanged horse thieves.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve never heard \u2063what they did to criminals who stole only part of the horse, but we might find \u200dout what \u2064happens to such \u2062miscreants in the modern west, if the culprits stealing\u2062 horse tails \u2063in Colorado\u200d are ever\u200c caught.<\/p>\n<p>At least two equestrian centers\u200d in the Denver area have been targeted by thieves who come in the night and cut the tails off of horses boarded there.<\/p>\n<p>Denver\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/kdvr.com\/news\/local\/horse-tails-cut-ken-caryl\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KDVR<\/a> said the Ken Caryl Equestrian Center was aware of the thefts and has \u200bset up <a

Association spokesperson Allison Hefner said. \u201cIt is about \u206210 miles, including our open space.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Eight tails had been stolen last week from the Ken \u200cCaryl facility alone, horse owner and competitive hunter\/jumper Megan Morrison told KDVR.<\/p>\n<p>She said \u2063that she was \u201cshocked\u201d \u200dlast week to visit her horse Eleanor and discover that someone had cut off a large portion\u2063 of her\u2064 tail.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe all \u200bwant a nice full,\u2064 long tail, especially with a hunter\u2064 jumper\u2064 discipline that I do,\u201d Morrison told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>But a horse\u2019s tail is important for much more than \u200cjust \u2064looking good for \u2062the competition \u200djudges.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHorses, they communicate by their behaviors, and mostly their ears and their tails, and you\u2019re taking that away from them,\u201d she added. \u201cSo\u200d it just hurts you to the core knowing \u2062that\u2019s \u200bhappening
