Where in the UK can we get hold of horse/tail hair

First find a horse
Sneak up on him very quietly
Grab tail....



Dont think you'll hold it for long tho :lol:

LOL that would be fun to see. D wink: :wink:

A good way is to get in contact with draft horses breeder or someone who work with draft horses. Their tail hail is often cut and thrown to the desk so you can get it for nothing.

Here are a few suppliers:

There's a bit of a waiting list at the moment (a month or so) on these.

Any chance of getting a plume/tail type done Peronis?

send me an email Byron. :wink:

I believe Peroni makes super horse-hair plumes, one of our lads bought one and he's well pleased.

You getting commission Nerva? :lol:

Yep, and plenty of it, just got a new set of Alloy's for my Chariot...

Gosh you are a wag

Thanks for your input guys Ill start a search. I want to make one from scratch for someone.

I'm at the trimming stage now on my own crest.
I got one pound of natural white, 15 inch long, from www.sowden.co.uk
(thanks, Peroni)
It isn't cheap at about £52 delivered, but seems to be the going rate ... unless you do actually have access to horses!
Obviously at 15" you won't get the long tail piece that Peroni provides. The price goes up for longer hair.
Having spent 2 hours plus this evening gluing the hair into about 80 drilled holes, all I can say is that I take my hat off to Adrian for producing them at the price he does!
