Hitching is more intricate and even more time-consuming than braiding and that is reflected in the prices for hitched pieces. Hitching is a counting system, so patterns are first worked out on graph paper, with background and borders also figured in

Hitching is done by making a series of half-hitches over a string on a core. Depending on the piece, the core remains, or the hitching is taken off the core and placed in a press to be flattened

Hitched pieces can be personalized with names, initials, dates and brands

From the artist:

I make most of my pieces from the tail hair from my own horses. Any natural colors are the color of the tail hair. I dye white hair to get the other colors such as teal, orange, blue, purple, green, yellow, pink, red (unless the unicorns donate some of their hair when they pass through my area).

I also enjoy making personal mementos for people who have sent me hair from one of their own horses.

Please note, these are hand crafted items by the artist, with a slight variation between each piece
