Braided Horsehair Necklace

Recommended Posts

I got an order for a special necklace for Christmas and thought you fine people would like to see it. It makes me happy to get jobs like this, as I think it will help get braiding out there and get more people exposed to it. Hopefully once they see it they'll want more!

The necklace is a gift for the mother of one of my biggest collectors. It uses the hair of 6 of their horses, 3 deceased and 3 that they still have, so it will make a terrific memory piece for the mother. Here's hoping the mother loves it and wears it to all the fine parties!

What a beautiful job! I can't imagine the time that goes into just sorting the hairs into bundles, let alone everything else. :notworthy: Thanks for the closeups!

Very impresive!

Have you done any half scale hitching? I would be interested in getting some to go with my miniature saddles.

I love your work!

Hi Casey - I don't hitch, I braid. So I can't help you out with any hitching, sorry!

I do however make 1/10 scale braided headstalls and reins. Here's a pic or two for you:

I made the little saddle too... it's a little smaller than the ones you make... :lol:

Sorry, I mistyped when I typed hitching. I was trying to say braiding.

And I will stick to that story! :unsure::unsure:
