Tail and mane

Horsehair, prized for its strength, durability, and versatility, is obtained through a process that is both ethical and humane, ensuring no harm comes to the animals.

Since ancient times, horsehair, sourced from the manes and tails of horses, has been prized for its strength, durability, and versatility. Its unique properties have made it an invaluable material for a variety of practical and decorative purposes.

Horsehair is collected by shearing the manes and tails of horses. This process is similar to getting a haircut and does not harm the horses in any way.
Shearing is part of regular grooming and maintenance for horses, promoting their health and well-being.
Horsehair is a renewable resource, as horses’ manes and tails continuously grow back.
Using horsehair reduces the reliance on synthetic materials, contributing to sustainable and environmentally friendly practices.
