EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures an extraordinary horse named Marion, bred in the picturesque town of Marion, Oregon, United States, during the late 1890s. The proud owners of this remarkable animal were Messrs. C.H and H. W Eaton. Marion was renowned for its exceptionally long mane and tail, measuring an astonishing 9ft 9in and 12 ft 8 in, respectively. The horse's mane and tail were not only a testament to its genetic predisposition but also a result of meticulous care and grooming. The length of the mane and tail was achieved through regular brushing and detangling, ensuring that they remained healthy and free from matting. Marion made headlines and attracted crowds when it was exhibited at Fells Waxworks, a popular tourist attraction located on the Trongate in Glasgow, Scotland, in 1897. The horse's appearance at Fells Waxworks marked its journey across the Atlantic from the United States, showcasing the global reach of the equine world. The photograph, taken in 1897, captures the essence of the horse's majesty and the awe-inspiring length of its mane and tail. Marion's story is a testament to the enduring fascination with horses and their unique physical attributes, as well as the human desire to showcase the extraordinary in nature.
