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.

Product #011
TailGator tail bags are made from fabric that is lightweight, waterproof and breathable. They provide the healthiest environment suited to hair growth & protection. They can be used in the stable, arena, while traveling, show warmup or in the field. They can be kept on for up to two weeks at a time.

 

TailGator Tail Bags will protect the tail from mud, droppings, breakage, stains, sun damage and keeps the tail free from tangles
Our unique design features two webbing loops to ensure that they remain where they should - on the tail! Our bags are not tied onto the tail, but use the webbing loops to go through the holes of the plait, simple but very effective. See our Fitting Guide to see how easy they are to apply.
It is easy to spot the photo that shows what the tail is like when not using a tail bag.

PRODUCT DETAILS

Material: The fabric that we use are of the highest technical quality. It is the only tail bag on the market that is waterproof, breathable and 4-way stretch. We do not make tail bags out of Lycra or Nylon. The registered design is unique to TailGator so you won't find another on the market like it. The smooth outer makes the tail bag easy to care for, as you can just wipe it down with a damp sponge to keep it clean. The outer will dry instantly. The tail bags have elastic cuff tops to prevent any debris from getting into the bag.

Fold up tail bag (above) £18.99
The fold up bag can be used either folded or left long.
This syle is only suitable for fine to medium thick tails
as a heavy one will put too much pressure on attachments.

Style: We have two designs of tail bag, the ' fold up' and the 'non fold up' tail bag. The fold up style includes a D-Ring under the top velcro attachment. This enables you to use a use a velcro tab at the bottom of the bag to reduce the length of the bag by folding it in half. This feature is good if you wish to ride with the bag on the horse, but not have a longer bag around the horses legs. You can use the fold over bag left long or folded over. If you use a tail bag in the summer then let it hang long, as this will enable the horse to have a very good fly swat!: There are two width options to the bags,'Standard' which is for fine to medium tails. This will be suitable for horses with tails as thick as Welsh D's. The Wide option is for VERY thick tails ie Traditional Cobs and Highlands.

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.
