Forelock
[NOUN]What is a "forelock"?
A forelock is a tuft of hair that grows between a horse's ears, falling down onto its forehead. It is typically longer and thicker than the rest of the mane and often styled or braided for practical or decorative purposes. The forelock not only adds to the horse's appearance but also serves a functional role by helping to protect the horse's eyes from insects, debris, and elements. It is an important part of grooming and care, requiring regular cleaning, brushing, and attention to maintain its health and appearance.
