<< I had saved the mane & tail hair from my beloved anglo arab who I'd had 
for his full 30 years. From when he was born & I was 6 years old to 36, when 
I lost him.
  My oldest daughter asked me to send the tail hair to her a couple years 
ago. She made a beautiful fly whisk out of it! She used wood from a tree in 
her yard & hand stitched a deer skin cover & handle. It now rests on my 
mantle as a beautiful reminder of my old friend.
  I would like to have the info on the craftsman that makes the bracelets, 
too. I still have his mane hair & also the hair from his old pony buddy who 
we lost 4 years ago. >>

The Icelandic tradition is to make a rug out of your favorite horse when its 
gone.  The pinto ones are particularly striking but I would have to think 
about it.
