It's been so long that I had to look at the (still unfinished >_<) horse again. The yarn itself actually isn't sewn through anything: Get a piece of yarn, center it on the back of the pony's neck, then take a threaded needle (color should match the yarn) and basically tie the yarn in place by sewing around the the middle. ...Did that make any sense? Anyway, repeat until either the mane is complete, or your arms fall off. It's tedious, but not as bad as it could be.
As for the tail, I haven't gotten there, yet, but I suspect the technique for making a tassel would be handy: Wind a bunch of yarn. The woundedness...thingy...should be as long and bushy as you want the tail to be. Get another piece of yarn and tie off a bit at the end... Okay, here's a link with pictures: http://www.sew4home.com/tips-resources/sewing-tips-tricks/how-make-tassel This should be easier to follow than my rambling gibberish. *g*
