These gorgeous show horse heads have beads for their braided mane.   These can be made with any of the colored wire listed and any color of beads you can think of that I can find.   They hang  about 2 3/4" in length.

Pictured is a brown horse with silvered light purple mane, a copper horse with silver light blue mane, a Silver horse and mane, a black horse with a pearlized clear mane, and black horse with silver turquoise mane.
