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.
