2% price premium for horsehide

If you go to the Milt Sparks website:
Sparks website
and click on the page describing the Versamax 2 holster, you will see that the cowhide version (VM-2) is priced at $100. The horsehide version (VM-2H) is priced at $102. That is a 2% price difference, which seems quite small.

Perhaps Sparks has discovered a low cost source of dead horses?
