Storing and Caring for a Genuine Horsehair Ornament Between Seasons
Genuine horsehair ornaments from Cowboy Collectibles are more durable than most ornaments in a typical holiday collection, but they benefit from thoughtful storage between seasons. The main consideration is moisture. Storing the ornament in a breathable container away from humidity keeps the horsehair from absorbing ambient moisture over a long storage period. Avoid wrapping genuine horsehair ornaments tightly in plastic, which can trap moisture against the hair and affect its appearance over time.
When the ornament comes out for the season, a gentle shake and light handling restores the natural fall of the horsehair and the full look of the piece. Cowboy Collectibles builds genuine horse hair ornaments to be brought out season after season without degrading, and with straightforward storage they deliver on that. A piece purchased this year should look the same in five years, which is more than can be said for most Christmas ornaments.
