Add a new twist to your love of horses. Fashionably express it by wearing a bracelet you braided from your horse's hair.

This guide will teach you how to:

▪ Legally obtain horsehair.

▪ Prepare it for braiding.

▪ Plait three braids: a 4-string, a 6-string, and an 8-string.

▪ Measure your wrist and determine the length of braid you need for your bracelet.

Author Janet Wolanin Alexander learned about horsehair jewelry when a friend showed her a bracelet she had purchased out West during vacation. Entranced, Janet vowed to braid one from her own horse's hair. After spending years seeking instruction and practicing her skills, she wrote this comprehensive guide to save you some of the time and frustration she went through. Janet taught science for 30 years and lives with her husband James, a biology professor, and their rescue cats and dogs in Southern Indiana. Besides braiding horsehair jewelry and writing, she loves horses, trail riding, and nature.
