I don’t know if they mind or not. I would have asked, but I was embarrassed that I hadn’t brought a carrot, so didn’t stick around to chat.
More seriously, there are certain breeds that are associated with long manes and tails, such as Fresians. I guess within those breeds humans have bred for long hair, but beyond that, I really don’t know.

Lovely picture!
Do horses ever care that they’ve got their mane in their eyes? Have humans bred the long mane into them?

Nice site you have here ! I love the mane on that horse. Almost too pretty for a horse, I think.
