Products we recommend
We strongly advise that you use the Survivor Detangler to ensure that the tail remains tangle free when in the bag.
If you need a thicker tail then use the Mega-Tek Rebuilder to keep the tail strong and promote regrowth. |
PLEASE NOTE: Due to the tail bags being in such high demand please allow up to 7 working days for production before shipping at peak times (Show season and over Winter). Orders are processed on a first come first served basis and we get all the orders out as quickly as possible (We know just how much a clean tail is important). Some sizes are often in stock, but with so many options on length, colour, width and style we usually have to make your tail bag once your order has been placed. You will be sent an email when your order has been shipped. |

Top tips for tail bags
Remember to use a good quality hair band to fasten your plait. The bag will stay on as long as the tail is plaited. We don't recommend rubber plaiting bands as they break quickly.
If the tail is really thick then using bandage tape around the bottom of the tail works very well to secure the plait, as the tape does not stick to the hair. If your horse has a very thick tail that is hard to plait, then just plait in two sections and put both into the tail bag. |

Keeping a tail straight in the bag for showing
TOP TailGator Showing Tip :If you show and want to use have a clean and straight tail when showing rather than wavy, then this is the tip for you! You will need to have some bandage tape (aka Electrical tape) to wrap the tail together. Bandage tape is wonderful at sticking to itself but not to hair.
Directions: Ensure the tail is clean, dry and combed through. About 2” BELOW the tail bone gather all the tail hair in your left hand and with your right wrap a section of tape around the hair. Your left thumb can hold the start of the tape as you wrap it around with your right hand. Make sure it is tight and just one loop will do. Apply the tape in the same way mid way down the tail and also at the end, about 2”-3” above the bottom. You should now have a straight tail that is bound by three taped sections. Slide the tail bag on and attach at the top, by threading it through the tail OVER the top taped section. The tail bag can then be used to keep the tail clean for warming up and taken off quickly before going into compete. To remove, just take the bag and tape off, then give the tail a shake and you are ready to go and win! It goes without saying, but don’t wrap any tape around the tail bone itself. This method is great for pre-show and even overnight in the stable, but if you are using the tail bag for field use then you will need to have the hair plaited as the tape will slip given time. We use this method on our show horses to ensure when we enter the ring in front of the judge the horses tails are clean.
