How to use the TailGator tail bag

STEP ONE

If the tail is stained or dirty you will need to wash it. Lots of warm water and shampoo! Apply a leave in condioner if needed, but try to avoid putting conditoner on the very end where the hair band will be. When dry, comb out the knots.

STEP TWO

Make a single plait that starts from below the tail bone. (Do not make it tight at the top, if you have a thick tail you might want to do two plaits one on top of the other) Secure with a hair band (not a plaiting band as they often break)

STEP THREE

Slide the tail bag up the tail and tread the webbing attachment through one of the holes in the plait. If you tail is very long you can fold the bottom of the tail before putting it into the bag.

 

 

STEP FOUR

Tread the other webbing attachment through the other hole and close the velcro tab The tail bag is now secure on the tail as long as the plait will stay in.

STEP FIVE

The tail will now be protected in the bag and your horse is ready for being turned out in the field / travelled etc.

STEP SIX

You can leave the tail bag on for 10 - 14 days at a time, then take it off comb and replait then put the bag on again. (All these images were taken mid winter and he still has a clean tail!)
