I think this is the same person who did the dream catchers for the Haley's heather and Erika.

Maria, if you get picture would you post them? Id love to get one of these!

[Enixam]

I believe its angie worbley on facebook, beautiful things!

[katharine]

I'm pretty sure it's not the same person that did Bailee's. She moved away.

[maria]

It was actually Angie! Thanks! I messaged her on facebook and she got me pictures.

She told me I can have the hair from my horse, or I could just pick a colour and have it made.

Theres a company you can look up in London Ontario who does them - Cricket & Blue

They're on facebook as well - I like their bracelets a bit more as they have fancier clasps and ends... but that means they are pricier as well. hah

I think the C&B bracelets run around $100-150

[Becca]

So awesome. I seen another company on Facebook that makes beautiful ones And can add charms to them as well. Hopefully I can get each of the boys done.

Instructions for anyone that wants one done

To make a bracelet, we need at least an index finger’s thickness of hair (250 strands). You can do this over time, or take hairs from two or more horses. It is always better to send too much hair than too little. We will gladly return any unused hair with your completed order. Every hair MUST be 18 inches long. There should not be any short hairs. Be careful so hair does not tangle or knot.

If you are ordering a bracelet with hair from two different horses, or from a horse with two different colours in his tail (for example, a pinto), keep different hair colours in separate bundles. Tie the end of each bundle with an elastic band.

With the band holding the hair tightly together at one end, wash the hair with mild shampoo and ensure it is clean. Human shampoo is fine. Hair is always re-washed upon its arrival at Cricket&Blue, but it does need to be washed before shipping to us to prevent the growth of bacteria. Please do not use any conditioners or other products in the hair once it has been washed.

WE CANNOT ACCEPT ANY HORSE HAIR UNLESS IT HAS BEEN WASHED THOROUGHLY.

Lay the hair flat to air dry, and gently comb through with your fingers to remove tangles.

Once the hair is completely dry, loosely coil the bundle of hair into a zip-lock bag, ensuring that it does not tangle.

In a sealed envelope, please mail the bag of clean, dry horse hair with the order form, which can be downloaded below. We recommend mailing your order in a padded envelope to prevent damage to your horse hair.

PLEASE NOTE IF YOUR HORSE HAIR IS NOT CLEAN OR IS TANGLED, WE CANNOT USE IT AND IT WILL BE RETURNED TO YOU, MINUS POSTAGE COSTS.

Please print the below order form and mail along with clean, dry horsehair:

I've been making my own horse hair bracelets for nearly 30 years. I don't use clasps on mine though, I sew mine together.
They are the only jewellery I wear. <grin>

[maria]

Thanks Gill, I looked up their site, the clasps are beautiful, but a little more then I was thinking of spending. Also, I dunno if I could wash the hair to their standard haha Angie does it herself when you send her the hair.

This is the bracelet I want as well. My coach has one and another friend from my barn has the same with their horses show name's on it. I'm just afraid of wearing too many and then losing the sentimental value.

It's simple, but tasteful.

I have a bracelet of jacks and pjs hair with jewels made by a girl here. Absolutely stunning and worth the extra money for the protective coating so the hair doesnt fray or rub

[katherine]

Maria - I got one of those leather bracelets from Greenhawk for Christmas. They are absolutely beautiful and very comfortable to wear.

I'd be nervous about breaking or fraying a horse hair bracelet. Does the girl here do the protective coating?

[happilyeverafter]

I've never seen that Greenhawk bracelet before! Going to order one right now

[maria]

Katherine, I think she said she does! I'll post a picture of my bracelet when it's done. I have the hair at home in town so I haven't sent it out yet because I'm still in Clarenville so it'll still be a little while.

Gill, it's nice isn't it?! If I don't get one for my birthday I'm gonna order it myself haha

ETA: How much did the bracelet from Greenhawk cost when you included shipping and engraving? I never went that far on the site.
