Cut tails?

My tail ran about $150 because its 2lbs and was at an overly priced tack store at the time lol. But anyways i have a loop that i tie my horses real tail in and align it with my horses real tail. it adds symetry to my horse and completes "the look". You can find good quality ones online. just make sure they match your real horses tail or you will have to dye your horses tail just a little bit darker like mine!

No offence to anyone who uses extensions for you horse, but i just think they are ridiculous. Why spend that much on a fake tail, wheny uo can just out your horses REAL tail??

It's going to depend alot just on how quickly your horse 'grows' hair, really, and how short it was cut... Keep it clean, conditioned, and covered (if you can), to prevent damage. You can supplement her with a good dietary supplement for skin and coat, to aid in the process, as well, just to ensure that her body is at optimal health to grow coat.

Its more easier said then done... especially playing with genetics. If tail extensions are done right... I personally think they are really pretty. Its obvious there is a tail extension when its not in right and thats where I think they are ridiculous.

I've only seen a couple of real looking tail extension jobs. Most of them just don't flow right with the horse, the entire thing moves in one big mass, instead of flowing the way a real tail would, but I think that in some disciplines, to really compete, there are some things, like fake tails, using stuff to make white socks whiter, ect, that you need to do to be competitive, and personally even though I don't like it, at least its better than say using chains to make a horse gait bigger, or paralizing the tail so it doesn't swish. But with my two horses with short tails, all I did was wash and condition, then braid and put in a tail bag. Unfortunately, my horse somehow lost his tail bag one day (never could find it), and let the baby next door eat his tail off in one night, and my dad ended up cutting his morgan's tail up at the hocks after I got it so it drug about 2 inches on the ground.

Or maybe you've seen more than a couple, but didn't know it, because they were done so well you couldn't tell they had an extension....

Im a perfectionist and i feel more confident going into an arena knowing that my horse looks like a millon bucks and if a fake tail makes me feel that way than so be it. I make sure that my horses tail is not showing and not dragging so it will be definalty a tail that looks right. its not to low and matches at her rear ankles. In the picture to the left my horse doesnt have a tail in at the time after she ripped some out. But now it looks fuller and better than ever with the fake tail in!
