Theodora and Theodosius Smith were fraternal twins who dearly loved horses. Together they owned five horses, and among these horses there was a beautiful female horse named Christabel. That is, she would have been (conventionally) beautiful, except for the unfortunate fact that she was born with a genetic mutation that made her body completely bald except for her mane, which was unusually long and silky, grew thick and rich, and was indeed beautiful to see. Perhaps because of her deformity, the Smith twins loved Christabel the most of all their horses, and took particular care to make sure her beautiful mane was always kept clean and well-groomed. They took to affixing various pretty accessories and doodads to her mane, just as a woman might adorn her hair with colorful clips and ribbons. These horse accessories became quite popular, and eventually Theodora and Theodosius opened a shop devoted to selling ornaments for horse manes, which became trendy must-haves for horse lovers everywhere. The twins became known as two of the most successful and famous operators of a small business, or as those in the know came to refer to them, the Bare Mare Hair Care Ware Lair Pair.
