Glad we cleared that up...

Nuckin.... is this dyed hair? I've heard you can get it in all kinds of weird colors now. Or is she (the horse) a natural redhead?

Not yet.. I've been using white and black. I prefer white... but I'm considering Salt and Pepper.

If you're using the hair I'm thinking of, yes, I use it too when I can get it. Very few places here in the US seem to have it. When I lived in France I had all my rehairs done with this kind - I'd describe it more as light brown - and I was told it was hair from France. Anway, yeah, I think it's the best.

Yes, I do use it, and it's just as you describe. Actually, all of my bows have something other than white or black...I have this type, a silver brown, and a silver grey. They all vary in their characteristics.
