my little pony

my mom: Look at my new pony hair purse!
me: (horrified) They kill ponies to make purses?


Although I was half being sarcastic, my mom and I actually stopped and thought about it and tried to find an answer online as to what is 'pony hair'- as they make bags, purses, shoes, hair do-da's all from pony hair.

no cigar.
