Plait in mane - I'm really confused...

[JenJ]

I work next to a large field owned by travellers and it's filled with little coloured ponies.

Usually I just cycle straight past, but today I decided to stop and watch the foals, and noticed that ones of the mares had a plait in her mane.

Now, everyone knows that a plait in a mane means that travellers have marked a pony to be stolen, but this was a travellers field so they wouldn't be wanting to steal it, so who could have done it?

Are non-travellers now using this covert practice???

Oh dear more people have worked out the fool proof way of plaiting a horses mane.

Perhaps the inventor should have patented it?

I might hog my horse so he can't get nicked!

Love it!
