Answer 1

Go to the National Institute of Health and tell them you are a genetic mutant and see if they will perform experiments on your body.  Negotiate with them to get the most money you can for yourself if they seem interested.  Or you could try selling your hair on ebay.  Or you could contact your local news media and convince them to do a story on you.  Then use your new found fame to market yourself for the next X-Men movie.

Answer 2

Bead it and braid it.  Finished product could be decorative or wearable, I've seen beaded horsehair bracelets.

The one thing you'd have to really put some thought into would be attaching the clasp...I think the best thing would be to wrap the ends really really well then cut it of flat, insert it into a tube type end cap and glue it there.  This means you have to find the tube end caps before you start work so you know the diameter you would need.

I just did a quick search on horsehair art and got lots of hits, so some general internet research might grab some interesting ideas as well.  I once saw an entire book on making jewelery out of cat hair...so there's got to be some interesting stuff out there on horsehair...
