I love this picture – can’t work out what it is loads of hair? Somewhere near a beach? Frosty grass? It will keep me guessing for hours lots of great textures!
Hello thanks so much for popping over to comment. Yes, it’s a skip full of horse hair. My horse, Max, is moulting and it’s coming out by the handful. Seems mad when there’s snow on the ground, doesn’t it!
it’s horse hair, Max is moulting, is it possible he knows spring is here when the weather belies it in spades???? I always love to think of birds’ nests all horse-hair lined and cosy…sometimes when I get a snowstorm of hair out of the horses it all disappears within the day and that has to be the birdies….am I correct? is it Max-horse-hair-spring-is-in-the-air????
Wa hooooo! It had to be another horse owner to recognise a skip full of HORSE hair. Despite the snow on the ground his coat is coming out by the handful. It seems the more you brush him, the more comes out! The more you brush, the more static you make the more it sticks to you. In your eyes, up your nose! He hates having his tummy brushed. Well, in fact, he doesn’t like being brushed very much full stop. Well, I suppose he is a boy and we all know what little boys are like have their hair brushed or combed! Will wait until the weather dries up and then put some of it outside. I found a couple of bird nests in the summer when I was clearing the garden and they both had Max’s bright bay hairs in them. Susan, have you seen my previous post with the photo of the little bird? What do you think it is?
It is as soft as Alpaca, but no, it’s my horse’s hair. He is moulting by the bucket full, despite thick snow on the ground. Perhaps he knows something we don’t, that Spring really is just around the corner maybe. That would be nice, wouldn’t it! Thanks for joining in with the quiz! Lol.
Well yes, they grow a very, very thick winter coat. Most people, if they are competing with their horses clip them, all or partially, but I don’t. It’s quite a labour of love, grooming all that thick coat out! Thanks for the visit.
Yes, a yak would be unlikely! That is just a small part. Every time I groom him for two weeks or more he sheds hands full of his winter coat and he is rugged so it’s not as thick as it could be. It’s a real labour of love getting it all out. It goes up your nose, in your eyes and the static that you generate brushing him makes them all stick to you! Tee hee hee. Thanks for popping by!
Fur? From what?
Aha, a clue, it’s not really fur, it’s hair….
I love this picture – can’t work out what it is loads of hair? Somewhere near a beach? Frosty grass? It will keep me guessing for hours lots of great textures!
I’ll give you a clue.. it’s hair….
Hair? or fur? and who’s? or am I completely wrong?
Or is it grass?!
No, it’s not grass, it’s hair. But from what?
No, you’re on the right track… it’s hair, but from what. Thanks for your comment! Try again.
hmm sheep hair?
No, it’s not wool of any type. It’s hair, but from where?
what or who is this from?
Aha, that is what you need to guess. Nobody has, as yet….. Thanks for your comment.
Umm – not sure what to say to this! someone had a hair cut?
No, not a hair cut. But it is hair, but from what? Thanks for stopping by.
Very interesting photo! Not sure whether it is real or not? Is it an animal fur or furry mat? 🙂 x

is this fur? intresting photo x
Hello Sarah, thanks for stopping by. No it’s not fur… it’s hair, but from what?
Interesting shot, Is that wool?
No, not wool. It’s hair, but from what?
Okay, put me out of my misery and tell me what kind of fur this is!
Aha, will tell all later today. Don’t want to spoil it for other visitors to my blog. Nobody has guessed it yet……
oooh what is it? Hair? Fluff?
Yes, Emma, it’s hair, but from what? Thanks for your comment.
Is that fur?
Hello, many thanks for your visit. No it’s hair… but from what, or whom?
Animal, vegetable or mineral? Something that’s been rolling in something?
Definitely animal. Thanks for passing by.
Cat hair?? But are you going to knit with it? I was reading an article about that the other day 😀 Lovely textures in the pic!
Thanks Emma for your comment. No it’s not cat hair. But it would be fun to try and spin it…
Is it from a dog? My daughter thought it might be hamster hair!?
No it’s not from a dog. There’s an awful lot there, would be the hairs of at least 10 zillions hamsterss! Lol, but thanks for trying!

An animal moulting?
Yes, please see reply to previous comment. It’s my horse, Max, that is moulting! Thanks for your comment, much appreciated.
Alpaca??

horse hair! lol. that’s a lot of hair!
Yes, Eileen and it’s still coming out. There’s still a long way to go!
Wow, that is a lot of horse hair. My cats are shedding right now. I really hope they know something we don’t about the weather 🙂
Yes, would be nice Laura, but think the weather is going to continue in this vein for a bit. Roll on proper Spring, that’s what I say!
I’ve never had a horse so never knew they lost their hair. Thanks for sharing.
Well yes, they grow a very, very thick winter coat. Most people, if they are competing with their horses clip them, all or partially, but I don’t. It’s quite a labour of love, grooming all that thick coat out! Thanks for the visit.
I’ve cheated and read the other comments, so I know what it is now! Very intriguing picture 🙂
Thanks soo much Sarah for popping by. Yes, bit naughty of me because I didn’t show the skip the hair was in… Might have been easier had I done so.
Wow that’s horse hair? I was going to guess Yak but then thought its fairly unlikely to have a yak 🙂
Yes, a yak would be unlikely! That is just a small part. Every time I groom him for two weeks or more he sheds hands full of his winter coat and he is rugged so it’s not as thick as it could be. It’s a real labour of love getting it all out. It goes up your nose, in your eyes and the static that you generate brushing him makes them all stick to you! Tee hee hee. Thanks for popping by!
Great shot. No idea where the hair is from 🙂
It’s from my horse. He’s moulting – shedding his winter coat. Thanks for your visit!
