The world is a trash fire, so here’s some good news: some horses can grow mustaches, and they look ridiculous! If horses were hipsters from Brooklyn, they would look exactly like this.
Mustaches are common in a horse breed called the Gypsy Vanner. They have a long, luxurious mane and big voluminous hair on their lower legs. And on their faces, they rock a mustache.
Not all Gypsy Vanner horses have a mustache, but many do, and the trait is not limited to males. If the hair is long enough, it tends to curl up hipster-style.
Gypsy Vanner horses aren’t the only ones who can grow mustaches. Other breeds, such as Clydesdales, Shires, and British Ponies are also capable of growing mustaches. In fact, the most famous horse mustache of all (probably) belongs to a horse called Alfie who is a Shire mix. His mustache is said to be the largest of any horse in the U.K.
People have a variety of opinions about this horse mustache thing. It’s shocking, obviously.
But also pretty cool, and maybe even… Beautiful?

Some of these horses look like MySpace models.
Other people are decidedly against the horse mustache, though.
“Oh wow oh no oh wow I don’t like the horse mustache at all,” one person tweeted.
“This has fucked with me all day, I feel so weird about this,” another said.
Welp, at least mustaches can always be shaved.
