Mustachioed Horse

I can’t grow facial hair even if my life depended on it. Thanks to weak genetics, the most I’ve ever grown were mere stubbles, even after a week or two of not shaving.

And I think most horses share my predicament (or luck, depending your point of view) except for this one: Alfie, a 10-year-old Shire cross, not only has a ‘stache … he’s also very proud of it!

The moustache may look somewhat incongruous given its fair colour compared to his black and white colouring and well-meaning staff thought he would rather be without it.

However Alfie clearly enjoys the look and groom Justine Greenslade said all efforts to clip it had been in vain. "He’s obviously rather proud of his facial hair," she said. "He runs a mile if he thinks we’re going to trim it."
