~ Tail Switches ~

Imperator

• American Saddlebreds: tail switches, manes, top feathers, bottom feathers, and "fanny switches" (these add fullness to the top 1/3 of the tail). They can also be used on pleasure horses, road ponies, and 2 year olds.

• Arabians: for retirement ceremonies, parades, stud pictures, etc.

• Dressage, Hunters and Jumpers: switches to add fullness and length.

• Quarter Horses: tail switches and manes. Can furnish unsown hair to be bonded in or woven in.

• Paint Horses: tail switches and manes.

• Racking Horses: any type of hairgood that would be used on a Saddlebred.

• Tennessee Walking Horses: tail switches.

• Horses in the movies: Example- the white stallion in Billy Crystal's City Slickers II (the Legend of Curly's Gold). This horse had about 4 inches of mane. I furnished the loose hair to be woven into a mane for him. It looked great in the movie and I couldn't tell that it was not his natural mane!

• Photography: Robert Vavra's "Vavra's Horses" ten of the most beautiful equines. A most beautiful book in every sense of the word!

Prices start at $225.00 (U.S. funds). All orders are shipped COD for a cashier's check, or a personal or farm check sent with the hair sample. Foreign orders; a cashier's check or bank wire transfer is needed with the hair sample.

Buying long tails from any breed of horse. The hair MUST be at least five (5) feet long from the END of the tailbone to the end of the tail. All colors bought. I need blonde, white, flaxen, light chestnut, and grey the most. Before removing the tail hair from the horse's tail, shampoo and thoroughly dry the tail. Then braid the tail and tie the top tightly with a white shoelace or piece of cloth. Tie the bottom of the braid a little snug, but not tight. Then ship the tail in a box to me. You might want to stuff some newspaper in the box. Enclose your name, complete phone number, and complete mailing address and please, also include your email address.

Here's a sampling of some of the hair colors available.
