No, I have not, and I don't know how successful it would be.  Horse hair is
fairly coarse; I have used it to make cord, and know it was used for
stuffing, and that's about it.

Does anybody else know about the feltability of horse hair?  I should think
in theory it is possible, but I have worked mostly with shorter, softer
fibers (sheep, bunnies, goats, etc.).
