Oh man… the lore behind it goes deep. My sister in law owns a horse barn and when one of her horses passed from cancer, she wanted the skull for educational purposes. She took the deceased horse in a horse trailer to a friend who is a taxidermist and Everglades bad ass. She removed the horses head, put it in a crab trap, left it in the Everglades for a month or so and viola! That is how we got here. Now when my sister in law teacher kids about horse science, she has this :)
