bows!)I have a personal relationship with the craftspeople who prepare the hair products for the western marketplace. This means I can offer unique hair products, customize bundle lengths and weights and work closely with our customers to provide hair that meets their needs. The hair is cleaned with a mild detergent (no bleach), rinsed and dried in a cool dark warehouse for several days, turned carefully and by hand. The hair is then quickly sorted and combed (with hackles), tied off in a bundle. The hair is then drawn, butted off and tied into loose bundles.
Stallion Hair? Mare's Hair? What's the Difference?
Recently, we've heard a lot of buzz in the market about "Stallion's hair" and "Gelding's hair" as being something that can be quantified as better than "Mare's hair". We want to publicly debunk this statement. We know that there is absolutely no way (unless by DNA analysis, or by harvesting the hair directly from the horse one's self), one can tell if a hair is from a Mare or a Stallion. Some Mares' hair is stained with urine and some is not. Some Stallion hair is stained (by dragging on the ground) and some is not. Still not convinced? Can you tell the difference between a man's hair and a woman's simply by looking at the hair? No? Case closed.
