Horse Tails

See color chart below.

We offer two types of horse tails:

 

1) de-boned, scraped, washed, and dried;

2) scraped, de-boned, washed, and tanned.

The first 6" or so at the base of the tail where it attached to the body is quite hard and stiff.  On the tanned horse tails, this part is a little softer and more flexible than on the dried horse tails. This part of the tail is about 3-4" wide.  The tails are 30" to 40" long.  They come in different colors, predominantly black with a little brown.  There are a few blonde ones, as well as some salt & pepper colored.  The multi-colored tails are usually a combination of brown, red, and blond.   Native Americans use them as hair on their False Face Masks.  They are also used on carousel horses and Halloween costumes.

Horses are not an endangered species.  No horses are killed just for the tails.

 

We also bundled horse hair.  Click HERE to go to the Horse Hair page.

 

We do not recommend that the dried horse tails be exported to Japan.  We had a shipment destroyed by Japanese customs in November 2005.  Japan is notorious for rigid customs rules.  You may have greater success getting tanned tails through customs in general.

A Note on Shipping Weights

The horse tails weigh approximately one pound each.  To calculate shipping costs for 1-10 tails, allow 1 to 2 pounds extra for the weight of the box.  For more than 10 horse tails a heavier box is required, so allow 2-3 pounds extra for the weight of the box.
