Is your horse or pony’s tail thin and damaged, spoiling the look of the overall appearance?
No need to despair, with the help of a false tail you can easily transform that final impression.

With the start of the showing season underway, it’s time to assess the turnout of your horse or pony and consider where any improvements can be made.

Have you ever wondered why show horses have those luxurious, flowing tails? One of the secrets behind their beautiful tails is the use of false tails! False tails not only add a touch of glamour to a show horse’s appearance, but they also offer several benefits.
Firstly, false tails give the illusion of a fuller and longer natural tail. This can greatly enhance the overall look and presence of the horse in the show ring, catching the judges’ attention and leaving a lasting impression.

Moreover, false tails can help protect a horse’s natural tail from damage. Show horses often undergo extensive grooming and styling, which can lead to breakage and thinning of the tail. By attaching a false tail, the natural tail is shielded from the wear and tear, allowing it to grow and remain healthy.

Additionally, false tails are incredibly versatile. They can be easily customized to match the color and texture of a horse’s natural tail, creating a seamless and polished appearance. This attention to detail further elevates the horse’s overall presentation and increases its chances of success in the show ring.

So next time you admire a show horse’s stunning tail, remember the role that false tails play in achieving that flawless look. They not only enhance the horse’s beauty but also serve as a practical solution for maintaining a healthy and impressive tail

False tails from Crusader Equestrian are made from natural hair with a fabric loop at the top making them easy to secure in place.

Wash the same as you would your horses tail. Can be blown dry to fluff it up.

How to fit a false tail:

Step 1: Start at the base of the dock, take some hair approx ½ cm thickness, split this into 3 strands from which you can form a plait.
Step 2: Begin to plait a 3 strand plait just as you would to plait your horse’s mane. Make 3 or 4 crossovers before you are ready to put the false tail in.
Step 3: After 3 or 4 crossovers, take one of the strands of the plait and thread it through the loop at the top of the false tail. Continue to plait for approx 5 cms once you have threaded the one strand through the loop.
Step 4: Once you have plaited down 5 cms, put in a rubber band to secure and / or sew the base of the plait. Some people also prefer to put in a couple of stitches around the loop within the plait.
Step 5: Shake your horse’s tail – the false tail will merge inside the existing tail.
