I suppose it is so because they are associated with birds' feathers by most people (including me ). _________________ ~Magda (formerly Mangalarga) Blog | Facebook |

I´d never thought on bird feathers when seeing those long hairs untill I saw the English name xD But it makes sense. In Spanish we call them "cernejas", which has nothing to do with birds - in fact, those long hairs are the only meaning for that Spanish word. _________________ Visit my collection gallery at http://sylobe.deviantart.com/gallery/26714361

| In Polish there is a phrase "szczotka pęcinowa" which literally means "fetlock brush" - I also think this one is more accurate _________________ ~Magda (formerly Mangalarga) Blog | Facebook |

| Yes, horse feathers are more similar to brushes than to bird feathers! _________________ Visit my collection gallery at http://sylobe.deviantart.com/gallery/26714361
