kruntitud

Krunting is a practice primarily associated with horses, though it can be applied to other animals as well. It involves trimming the long hairs from the underside of the tail, typically near the dock. The purpose of krunting can vary. In some contexts, it is done for aesthetic reasons, giving the tail a cleaner, more refined appearance, especially in show animals. It can also be performed for practical purposes, such as preventing the long tail hairs from becoming entangled in equipment or obstacles during work or sport.

The process of krunting is usually carried out with specialized scissors or clippers. Care must be taken to avoid cutting into the skin or causing discomfort to the animal. The amount of hair trimmed can be adjusted based on the desired outcome and the specific needs of the animal. While some owners or handlers may choose to krunting for appearance, others prefer to leave the tail hairs longer for natural protection and appearance. The practice is generally considered a grooming technique rather than a necessity for the animal's welfare.
