Horse sanctuary matches people's DIY haircuts to horse manes: 'Brilliantly accurate'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Horse lovers have come up with a fun challenge by asking people to send in photos of their lockdown haircuts — and matching them with a “lookalike.”
Redwings Horse Sanctuary, which takes care of 1,500 horses at its five visitor centers across the U.K., came up with the funny challenge as a way of continuing to fundraise while their centers are closed.

"It's been a really entertaining thing to do, and we've been delighted with the reaction we've got to it,” Stephanie Callen, who works for Redwings, said. “We've had some quite interesting hairstyles sent in, and some have been more challenging to match up.”

"But we've got quite a lot of ponies with facial hair, so we've enjoyed matching up the men who have sent in pictures of their beards,” Callen continued. “With the onset of lockdown, we've had to close all our visitor centers, including our cafes and gift shops.”
