Barge All Purpose Cement in the red and yellow can works well with leather.

I like WeldWood contact cement for most leather applications.

Barge Tanner's Bond Contact Cement (sold by Tandy). Although, to tell the truth, I don't see much difference between it and WeldWood. However, since it's made specifically for leather, it's my "go to" glue.

awesome thank you all for the ideas , how does these hold up on Horse Hair ?
The problem I am having is , I dont want the hair to slip out of the glue.
I will glue one line in the middle and sew two lines , one on each side of the glue .
Do you think this would hold ? with the Weldwood ?

I would suggest that you string very small bundles of horsehair, each tied and glued separately, to sew your rows onto the leather. That way, you can more easily ensure that the end of each hair is coated with cement and will hold.
