I just looked up fake eyelashes for ponies. They are out there but they are fake eyelashes shaped like ponies for people. They are made of paper. Kind of pretty too. Reminds me of the days when body painting was popular.....

there are also quite a few references to My little pony and their false eyelashes....

False eyelashes!? Tried some on myself years ago and it looked as if my eyes were being attacked by tarantulas --

Now my horses are feeling neglected -- especially the dainty little mule-girl who WANTS them and she wants them NOW!

Aren't people funny????

Mercy! I read everything over twice because somehow I seem to have missed the genesis of the conflict! I don't think anyone is actually intending to hurt anyone else's feelings.
I only have one comment about the original post. There seems to be a greater instance of medical problems (colic, lameness, etc.) simply because veterinary care has improved and horses are living longer. In my day, if you got a horse into his 20s you were doing well, and a horse in its 30s was almost unheard of. Now, a 30 year old is nothing unusual. Longer life means more opportunity to develop medical problems. Increased knowledge of common equine problems by owners means that a vet will be called out when there is still time to fix the problem rather than the animal being sent to slaughter as it stops being able to work.

Oh - one more thing:
All of the show accessories that they have now make me laugh. I was trained hunt-seat, and in those days you were being wild if you put colored rubber bands in your horse's mane! Too much hoof shine was also frowned upon and considered "tacky". Now I see horses out there with colored hoof polish, stencils so that you can spray glittery designs on their butts, and who knows what! Ah, to be an 8 year old girl again!

Don't leave, every person you named as attacking you has no intention of or intent of actually attacking you. Debate, disagreement and discussion yes. If we didn't want you around or didn't want to speak to you we wouldn't have answered the thread.
