If your horses tail is really long but thin would you still use a tail extension?

can this video for tails be placed on YouTube for reference

do you use fake tails in hunter shows?

how do you know where to attach the fake tail?

Is there a correct way to take the tape out?

would you put in the fake tail the night before the show or would you do it when you get to the show

Are palominos hard to match colors to if they have black streaks?

How do you train your horse to ride with a tail if they’ve never had one in before? Do you have an older tail that you use for schooling and just ride at home with it until they’re comfortable with it?

what do you look for in a qood qaulity fake tail?

how often should you clip your horse?

can you cut bridle paths with scissors? I have heard you can, but I have also heard you can't.

what do I do if I hve a horse that rears when I clip her ears?

How far up the leg would you clip for a regular show clip on a solid colored or white foot?

Hey Kate; can you answer these questions for these ladies in the chat box?

Will this part of the video be recorded to watch later?

Unfortunately no since it is a live video. But there has been enough interest in this that we may go back and create some additional video content once COVID social distancing is over

Yes- we will post the recording and send out where the link can be found

Ok thank you

Oh yes sorry Hannah, I misunderstood!

I clip the week before the show. yes you can cut the bridle path with scissors !

Yes, this is recorded to post later.

Ella if the horse rears for ears there are a few things you can do. sometimes your trainer can help you twitch, or the vet might need to be present. some horses I do their ears when they have their teeth done and the vet gave them meds ! last resort I do have some horses that I have to scissor the ears and make them as pretty as possible ! the most important thing is a good experience for the horse and safety for you.

Ruth for a show clip I also do hock down blending ( clippers upside down) and knee down

Is it possible to braid without yarn, using only bands?

Do you use yarn in the forelock?

My horse has a bushy tail which makes it hard to braid it. Would you recommend thining the tail at the base if it's really fluffy or not?

do you french braid the tail or fish tail

is it mandatory to braid a tail?i know that its mandatory for manes but i was wondering if it was the same for tails

Harper, for 4-H it isn't mandatory, but it does impact the judge's first impression of you if it is done well and correctly :)

Should you pull and band your horses mane if they do ranch or leave it long? Sorry I'm just getting into ranch after doing trail for so long!

What product do you use to keep the hair down and “braid able”?

For ranch classes a pulled mane is permissible, but a banded mane is illegal equipment

Thank you!

Sorry. My phone died. If there were any more braiding questions for me let me know. I can’t see the previous thread anymore.

Kristen, this was one of our braiding questions:

is it mandatory to braid a tail?i know that its mandatory for manes but i was wondering if it was the same for tails

If you braid the mane you don’t have to braid the tail. But if you braid the tail the mane needs to be done.

thank you so much guys this was great!! but have to head out

my forelock sticks straight up when I put a band in

With a shorter forelock that is medium thickness and it puffs when you ride would you ever leave some of the bottom hair out?

is this almost finished?

Thank you so much!!!

thanks!'

Thank you!

thanks! i had a lot of fun!

do you band the tail

thank you!

thank you

Thank you!!!
