This message is from: "Jon A. Ofjord" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> When I pull hairs for DNA testing, I wrap the hairs around my index finger close to the base of the hair and give a quick, but firm tug in a downward direction. They all come out in a nice bundle and no one seems to mind at all. They don't even flinch. I always was under the (probably incorrect)impression that the hair in horses manes and tails don't have the same nerve receptors as our do, hence they don't seem to feel it like we do. Look what we do the the QH manes and tails-they get pulled all the time.
