Turn horsehair into a unique gift.
Use a horse's hair to create a one-of-a-kind gift. No matter what breed of horse your friends and relatives own, they are sure to love a gift made with their own special horse's hair.
Horsehair Bracelet
Coarse horsehair like that found in a horse's mane and tail is the perfect medium for creating custom braided bracelets. The hair you need is probably lying around the barn. Just gather up a few handfuls of mane and tail hair as it sheds, and give it to a jewelry maker who specializes in creating jewelry from horsehair.
Hatband
If your friend is a horseback riding enthusiast, chances are she has the cowboy hat to go with her favorite hobby. You can turn that unwanted mane and tail hair into a custom-made hatband your friend will be proud to display. Horsehair is easy to braid into hatbands, and you don't need very much hair to get started. Try braiding the hair and creating the hatband on your own, or you can turn to a professional who can bring your ideas to life.
Bridle Tassel
Tasseled bridles are very popular among Western riders, so if rides a Western style horse, consider the gift of a custom-made horsehair bridle tassel. Just gather a few strands of hair from the horse's mane or tail the next time the animal is groomed, and give the hair to a craftsperson who can transform that hair into a cherished gift.
Ceiling Fan Pull
If you have ceiling fans in your home or barn, adding a custom-made ceiling fan pull made from your favorite horse's mane and tail hair is a great way to dress things up. You can braid the horsehair yourself and use it to create a ceiling fan pull, or you can send the horsehair to a professional craftsperson to have a wonderful gift created for the horse lover in your life.
