Oct. 15 (UPI) -- An Ohio horse's hair earned her a Guinness World Record when her tail was officially measured at 13 feet and 6 inches long.

Jenny, a horse owned by Mackenzie Lowe and Rachel Estes, was a gift for Lowe's 13th birthday in 2019.

"Before I got her, I was informed when she was younger, she had actually ripped her tail out. By the time I got her, her tail touched the ground but was not long," Lowe told Guinness World Records.

Jenny is an American saddlebred, a breed known for their long and flowing tails.

"We decided to let it grow since a longer tail is something looked for with this breed when showing. Over time, it kept growing and so we decided to see how long it could get and eventually to go for the world record," Lowe said.

Jenny was finally given a tail trim after her 13-foot, 6-inch tail was confirmed to have beaten the previous record of 12 feet and 6 inches, which was set in 2007.

"I know Jenny's excited about it," Lowe said. "She's looking forward to not having quite so many long tail groomings."
