Swamp Fly 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2020 I don't know Mike, I've raised and butchered a lot of chickens and ducks. But in this case I expect it's more of a family pet situation so... Sorry Mark! BTW do you have any photos of the cave paintings depicting you and your wooly when you were young? 🤣 Swamp Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chugbug27 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2020 Hey Samsonboi, in case you didn't already know, horse mane makes outstanding body material, either braided with a floss belly or wrapped around like hackle stems.... And it's not easy to come by in the fly shops. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samsonboi 0 Report post Posted May 1, 2020 Yes indeed! I do know that... And if anyone wants some, trimming time may be coming up soon! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tails too, but maybe tails don’t get trimmed much, had some after a friend bobbed a couple of her racehorse. Wrapped very nice on #14 and#16 s dries Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
samsonboi 0 Report post Posted May 2, 2020 I often use tail instead of mane because it's longer. The tails we actually trim more often, but I think they were trimmed recently because they step on them and tear them out if they get too long. They don't have that kind of trouble with the mane. Chugbug, if I can find one of our horses that has a too-long tail, I'll get you some tail hair too. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
