Horse Hat*

[penella22]

Fifteen minutes of riding yesterday. Bareback, seatbones digging into Sage's back, legs wrapped around his barrel in that special well-balanced way that only happens when I am riding well and he's not extra pudgy

i am reminded of Flight of the Conchords where brett has a helmet made entirely of hair.

kinda creepy..

but horse hair is kinda cool!

ooo - does horse hair felt? I've been doing all these felting experiments with regular wool and some dog, (except dog smells of wet dog - not surprising but disconcerting) but I never thought to try it with horse.

Hmm...I'm not sure...

but here's a link about the Curly Fiber guild:

Glad to hear you have a horse hat. A lot of people into the Californio thing seem to be keen on having horsehair mecates and what have you. Sounds like you could do a complete set of horsehair tack...

If I knew how, which would be *awesome*

but. I know a spinner who lives about an hour from me. Leanring to spin is cool enough in its own right I suppose.

[glenatron]

Meh. It sounds cool but you get pretty dizzy just spinning the whole time.

Also, excuse my ignorance of american geography, if she was at your house, would Dorothy not already have left Kansas?

[penella22]

Not quite the way she did in "Wizard of Oz"...lol.

[glenatron]

Depends how windy it was.
