very cool you make it look easy, I'm glad it's just a foal I have that needs hair or maybe that's harder,
how did you do the cob's hairy feet?
that's really awesome looking!

I just teased out the mohair into small sections, brushed glue on one side of the bundle, then gently pressed it onto the leg, starting from the bottom. It takes forever as you have to wait for each section to dry before adding the next or it'll all fall off.

I'm glad you brought this up, I was going to ask as I think I might have a go at Minstrels mane, although EG will you come to the rescue when I manage to make a mess of it?

Thanks EG I get the impression the victim may be coming on holiday to you xD and while we are on the topic of mohair, is the stuff from utterly horses any good? or if not where does everyone get it from?

XD No idea, I've never bought mohair from them. I used to get it from 'Forest Fibres' but they seem to have gone defunct now.

This thread has spurred me into buying some mohair so I can finally rehair Julip Rosa! The pinky chestnut hair has always just been the one thing that was nothing like the real pony. Looking forward to giving her a nice chocolatey mane and tail with some gingery bits through it Hurry up postman!
