Cutting hair from the tail:

No horses were ever harmed for their hair!

-Hold the tail at the end of the tail bone, select a section of hair from the middle of the horses tail, under the tail bone.

-Cut a pencils' thickness (about 7mm), from directly underneath the tail bone. You will not notice the hair missing. Also, the hair less likely to be sun damaged or frayed which can weaken the integrity of the jewelry. ( I do my best to remove any weak or frayed bits before braiding)

 The hair should always be from the tail with the only exception to make earrings or key chains -the mane is finer with less tensile strength.

Hair for a bracelet should be at least 8 inches long. For a hat band, stampede string or necklace at least 24-30 inches long and for a key chain or earrings the hair can be just about any length and thickness. The thickness' will vary ever so slightly, and I can make the jewelry as thick or as thin as you would like given there is enough to play with. 

When braided, the overall length shortens which is why I ask for more than the exact size jewelry so the longer the better. If there is any left over or if you send me the whole tail (happens a lot) I will return everything with your order. I only take what is needed to make your jewelry.

Yes, I ship, I make multiples, I do repairs-and guarantee my work to last a good long time with proper care! 

No matter the length or quantity of hair you have, I can create a lasting, beautiful piece of jewelry for you.
