      this isn't true. horse hair is still very commonly used in bows. My bows have horse hair. Horse hair is also very common in artist's paint brushes. And while kinda funny, its just hair and their tails do grow the hair back. they probably don't even take the entire tail. might be something that is just a byproduct of routine brushing. A well groomed horse gets brushed every day. Like humans, their hair comes out in the brushes.
