Please note that this website is a massive legacy site without a shopping cart. We are in the process of migrating to our e-commerce website at NaturalExotics.com

We offer two types of horse tails:

 

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

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

    Click HERE for a close up picture of a tanned tail.  

 

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 regular horse tails are 39" or longer and can be as long as 51".  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.

The short horse tails are under 39" long. We do not sort by color for the short tails.

Native Americans use them as hair on their False Face Masks.  They are also used on carousel horses and Halloween costumes.

We do not recommend attempting to tan the dried tails by yourself.  Please note that although the tails have been deboned, there may be small pieces of bone buried deep inside the tail.

Do NOT comb when just removed from hot water or the hair may fall out.

Horses are not an endangered species.  No horses are killed just for the tails.  They are not subject to CITES or USFWS controls. 

 

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 and Italy.  We had a shipment destroyed by Japanese customs in November 2005.  Japan is notorious for rigid customs rules.  We had a shipment returned by Italian customs in March 2013.  We cannot get a veterinary certificate for dried horse tails.  You may have greater success getting tanned tails through customs in general. 

 

Scraped and Dried Tails are a Product of Hungary
Tanned Tails are a Product of Hungary

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.
