Tails to Treasure

Remembering your horse with a treasured piece

The best horses in Heaven, they have no tail
This is a rule they all know without fail
For when angels new sport a short cut bob
They all know this horse did a very good job

His owner couldn’t bear to part with her friend
So she saved his tail, now it can’t be the end
She braided and wrapped it in ribbons and bows
The hardest part as everyone knows

To enter Heaven with no tail is an honour
A sign of the trust he bestowed upon her
A message shared both far and wide
Tells us all that this horse was cared for with pride

He may be in Heaven, his time on Earth done
But this horse was cherished, cared for by one
He left behind a broken heart
And a soul from which he will never part

Let's make that tail count

Yesterday I was given this amazing photograph with some of Honey’s tail hair, which was a complete surprise and was overwhelmed… Thank you for such a lovely gift, it means the world to me and I am so lucky to have some wonderful memories of my special girl

FAQ's

Do I have to have a photoshoot with you?

No. As long as you have a good quality image that you have permission to print, with your horse’s tail on display, I can create you a special piece of artwork.
I do however offer £95 off photoshoots purchased in conjunction with one of these frames.

How much tail hair do I need?

Approximately a pencil width of hair, as long as possible. For the larger frames, half as much again

What sizes are available?

The print size is either 8″ x 12″ or 12″ x 16″ before framing

Where do you get these from?

These are made by myself, I arrange the printing of the photograph onto special backing. The tail is prepared by me and laid into the print before it goes to my framer

How much are they?

The 8″ x 12″ is £165, the 12″ x 16″ is £195, including postage and a self addressed envelope for you to send your tail hair to me

Is there glass in them?

Yes, the product is a special keepsake item and is framed with a 70% UV reflective glass, to give a super clear finish, and protect your photos from light pollution so that you can enjoy it for many years to come

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes, I can offer a 2 month payment plan on these, but products will not be delivered until the full balance is cleared

What colour are the frames?

The standard colour is Hardwick White from Farrow & Ball. This is a traditional grey with a rich and chalky hue. It sits just as well in a contemporary room as it does in a historic home. Other options are available on request.

If a photoshoot is booked in conjunction with your frame order, a £100 booking fee is required to secure the date.

The balance of the photoshoot is due 7 days before your session.

We will agree a payment date for any remaining balance on your frame after your photoshoot.
