This is the full set I did for Shannon and Michelle of Suncrest WA, with hair from their lost Equine friend Zeke a palomino QH/TWH Cross.
To gather hair from your horse, here are some basic instructions.
I like to distract my horse with a hay net or grain bucket while tied, or just have some one hold your horse.
You don't want them to decide to exit mid-cut!
Amount:
A small finger's worth of hair is needed. Try to ensure that the hairs taken are mostly the same length.
Length:
The length of the horsehair should be a minimum of about 8- 12 inches long for a bracelet. For a necklace I need about 6 inches more than length of desired piece, unless requesting a two stage piece.
Helpful Notes:
· If your horse has a somewhat sparse tail, I can use longer mane hairs if the mane is more luxurious!
After clipping, tie a rubber band firmly around the upper section of the tail hair if possible- or just coil the hair, then place hair in a Ziploc bag or something similar that will protect the hair while being shipped.
Please do not add any show sheen or similar added shine products!
You can apply the same basic gathering method to send in mane hair.
Most importantly: PLEASE! - If the horse is not your own, you should always have permission from the owner before cutting the hair!
If you are local to Deer Park area, I can meet you to pick up your hair and show you examples in person!
Otherwise please contact me for ordering info/address for sending hair.
I will send a confirmation email or call you when your hair arrives !
