I remembered an old post on making horse hair sporrans. I hope this will assist in further questions. Here it is. http://www.xmarksthescot.com/forum/f...sporran-84310/

I have friends that own stables and groom animals professionally. I would have to ask them on collecting tail or mane hair for future purposes. I have only worked with fur in pelt form but would feel comfortable repairing the hair on a sporran.
