There’s nothing more stunning than a horse with a long, lush mane and tail, and as horse owners we work hard to take care of our horse’s locks. But it can be harder than it seems. One way to keep your horse’s tail from getting pulled out during a riding session, or getting dirty during a horse show, is by braiding it. If your horse is especially messy, you may even look into a wrap, like this one from Rock’N Tail Bags ($20; rockntailbags.com). This wrap allows your horse’s tail to stay tangle free and in show-ready condition at all times.
