Hey Bill,  are you saying that horse hair was not used? 

that is not been my experience. 

 

That's not what I wrote but I will clarify.  Cattle and goat hair was just more widely used and much more of it was readily available.  Horsehair was much less common in plaster and was more desirable in other products.
