here is where you can buy hair by the pound

[HorsehairBraider]

I mentioned in another post that I have "tons of horsehair at my house" and had some people asking me for some. I thought I would explain in a post here that if you have contacted me for hair, I will not be able to go through my huge stash until *after* the holidays, as I am currently swamped with orders and wishing I could work 70 hours a day, instead of only 17. So just wait until the holidays are over and then remind me.

For those who do not wish to wait, or for those who need a lot, or something special etc, here is where you can buy hair by the pound: http://www.hitchingpostsupply.com/group.asp?grp=150 They have both mane and tail hair. If you are getting it for braiding, you would probably want tail hair; if you are getting it for tassels or to make mecates etc. then you would probably want mane hair. Here's another place: http://www.nocbay.com/store/animalparts/animalparts1.html and another http://www.hairwork.com/horse_hair_for_sale.htm and there are more - just search for them. Most of these places will also sell part of a pound to you if you don't need a whole pound.

I'd like to make it clear that I am *NOT* a supplier, simply a friendly horsehair braider who is willing to share a little of their stash. Most of the hair I have I need for my work, but there is some hair I don't use and I am more than happy to share it with others as long as they don't mind paying shipping. Well, and as long as I don't get overwhelmed with requests!

I think everyone should braid horsehair - or tool leather, or make holsters etc. Just think, if everyone in the world braided horsehair they would not have any time left over to build car bombs, pollute rivers, kill other people etc. so I am more than happy to encourage as many people as possible to braid horsehair.
