For a 32oz bottle 44.95 but is worth Every penny! I don't recommend combs as it breaks off the hair and cause damage also it thins the tail. A lot of people in halter the tail stops at the fetlock so don't trim it to short. What halter discipline is this English or western ? Edit: And for shampoo Mane and tail works great! I use conditioner too!
Western halter, and we're going to talk to a lady later this week about starting barrel or poles and continue where the previous owners left off.

I personly always use babyshampoo on my horses, tail and body.
I've never heard of that. Does it work well?
Her tail isn't all bad, just some difficult knots that is difficult to get out with just the brush. At the moment, it's in a loose braid to save what progress I made lol. And how do you guys feel about making my own detangling spray? Would it work better or about the same? |

It works wonderfully BabyShampoo or anything Baby or Child stuff is fine to use on a horse, even my vet told me that. You can even get a Child/Baby Detangler used that one to worked well and no harm. And ofcorse its way cheaper!

Tail extensions. Best way to go if you want a professional look. But they can be quite expensive - average price is ~$200+ Edited at March 17, 2019 09:14 PM by Aurora Elites |

I'll have to try it. We might have some stashed under the sink somewhere.

It would work if I wasn't broke lol. Well, not that broke, just can't afford something like that since it's not going to be like AQHA shows. Just local 4-H and County Fair shows to get her used to crowds and being around other horses. She's still young-ish and I feel it'd be too expensive in the long run to replace it in the future (If you replace extensions lol). |

If you are really trying to get volume into her tail, I always say less brushing is best! Every time you brush, you are taking out strands of hair, no matter how careful you are. So when brushing, get knots out, and then stop as soon as you can. Save as much tail as possible! I always recommend this detangler, ( https://www.amazon.com/Canter-Mane-Conditioner-Liter-Spray-x/dp/B002KQPRE6 ) just soak the tail as much as possible, and very carefully go through knots. As soon as it's smooth, leave it be. Also, I strongly recommend a tail brush as opposed to a comb (or even a human hairbrush!) as combs can really pull out hair.
But definitely would recommend a fake tail if you were really going for it. They are pricey, but pretty much eternally reusable (especially if you have day a simple bay horse with just a black tail) so long as you keep them in nice condition. Best of luck! :) |

EDIT: Newleaf Side! The man we got her from said she's sorrel, but his wife said Chestnut (Which I know is far from the truth), but she's getting white flecks on her hips and sides, so I'm not too sure on color at this point, so I don't know how color matching would work. I'll scrounge up an old brush and soak it while I head to town tomorrow.
Would it hurt to try a homemade detangler to save money at the moment until I can get a free check? |

Only brush when the tail is washed, conditioned and dry and only use a wide tooth comb, this will cause less breakage and will minimize the amount of hair pulled out. |

I've been using the wide toothed side of the comb and then running through her mane with the finer side. I'll get pics today of her mane and tail so you can see what I mean. |

Ooh also my ultimate go to for long/thicccccc manes and tails and a shiny healthy coat is biomane supplements!!!!!*-* https://biomane.com They also sell tailbags that help your horse's tail not break and get damaged:D. The tail bag also has tassels on the end so they can still swat away flies. There is also a biomane mane and tail brush. It detangles without breaking the hair and it doesnt pull. Overall this works great for a fluffy flowy and shiny mane and tail |
