Collect Your Hair Sample

No need to wash the hair - I will gently clean and prepare all equine hair upon arrival (pet fur is used as sent)

Tip: If your sample is irreplaceable, keep a little back for peace of mind.

Tail Hair (Horse or Pony)

• Cut hair from the underside of the tail near the dock so it’s less noticeable.
• I need at least 43cm (17") of hair - enough to wrap around your wrist twice and as thick as your thumb - for all braided items (bracelets, keychains, necklaces).
• Secure with a band at the cut end and leave loose; (please don’t plait, braid, or tie the full length, as this can cause kinks).

Tail Hair (Donkey)

• Donkey tail hair is naturally shorter, finer, and less abundant than horse hair.
• Not suitable for braided keepsakes like bracelets or keychains, but perfect for a tail hair tassel.
• Please send as much as you can spare for the best result, secured at the cut end with a band.

Mane/Forelock Hair:

• Ideal for tassels when tail hair is limited.
• Send as much as possible for the best result, secured at the cut end with a band

Tassels:

• Perfect when less hair is available.
• As standard, tassels are made to 14 cm in length (subject to hair length supplied) - you can trim yours to your preferred length once it’s home.
• If your sample is shorter or finer, I’ll still use every strand - no hair is ever wasted.

Pet Fur:

• Only a small pinch is needed for resin keepsakes.
• Resin beads can be created from any beloved animal companion - whether horse, pony, donkey, dog, cat, or smaller pets - so you can keep them close always.

Please note: as hair is a natural material, each keepsake may show subtle variations in colour or texture. These natural differences are part of what make your piece truly unique.

Every keepsake is unique: as hair is a natural material, slight variations in braid, bead, or tassel appearance are expected - and are what make your piece one of a kind.
