Braided Horsehair Bracelet - Lucy and Charlie

Etsy listing here ---> [link]

This listing is for a braided horsehair bracelet in dark and light sorrel. The hair was collected by me from a mare named Lucy and a gelding named Charlie. Charlie escaped from his owner's pasture and ran at large through the town until he was apprehended. His owner was unable to afford Charlie's impound fee and had to sign him over. Fortunately Charlie was quickly adopted as a barrel prospect! Lucy was seized from her former owner due to severe neglect. She was extremely emaciated and being actively ridden. When she arrived at the shelter she had lice, and after being treated for lice she developed a horrible case of rain rot. She was adopted as a pet for a child and is in a wonderful forever home!This bracelet is 8 inches in length and closes with your choice of a lobster or toggle clasp. It would be appropriate for any lover of horses, male or female.

All of my horsehair items are handmade by me using horsehair gathered from animals encountered through my work in the animal welfare field. Only a small amount is taken from each horse during the normal grooming process. Each animal is an individual who's memory lives on in the items made from their hair, even after the animal has passed through my life. All my horsehair is cruelty-free, is not a by-product of the equine slaughter industry and is vegetarian/vegan friendly.

For each purchase of a horsehair bracelet, $5 will be donated to Team Kareem, an animal welfare group dedicated to helping the pyramid horses, donkeys and camels of Cairo, Egypt. If you aren't familiar with their work I recommend that you visit their website at [link].
