My parents are doing DIY on an old house and when they stripped the wallpaper there's quite a few holes that look like this with fibres. They refuse to believe it's asbestos and say it's horse hairs. What do you think?

Horse hair mixed in with plaster was very popular many years ago! It actually bound the plaster mix very well.

we had a property and a lot of the walls were like this with horse hair plaster. some of it two, three even four inches deep on the uneven walls, what a mess hacking it all off.

Someone told me after the event there is a danger of Anthrax from the stuff, I must have got lucky it didn't get me.
