Entranced, Janet vowed to braid one from her own horse's hair. After spending years seeking instruction and practicing her skills, she wrote this comprehensive guide to save you some of the time and frustration she went through. Janet taught science for 30 years and lives with her husband James, a biology professor, and their rescue cats and dogs in Southern Indiana. Besides braiding horsehair jewelry and writing, she loves horses, trail riding, and nature.
