false horse tails CALLING ALL SHOWIES ~ lse tail advice

Also- if you really like your horses lse tail and found them really good could you post a picture and a link to the website which you got them off?

The thickness generally depends on the horse. Maggie can pull off any thickness as her tail is naturally thick at the top and thins on the way down. My old horse Joe, his tail was thin from top to bottom and so only looked good with a filler tail.

Thanks

ThankyouThe main problem with the chestnut will be matching a lsie to his tail - Toby for me, wouldnt have been too hard to match as he has a , orangey chestnut tail, while Barcoo and Joe were near impossible to match as Barcoo has deep purple and bright burnt orange in his tail and Joe has white, black, pale yellow,Horse hair sieves-No.6, dark purple and orange in his.

what makes a good lse tail

Also forgot to mention that when you do get one, it might be a good idea to spend several rides with it in before you show just so you can play around with placement. When I first put Maggies in, it wasnt the right position for her and she spent most of my ride with the lse tail swinging up between her backlegs while her tail stayed in its normal spot, haha.yes I agree. He is a rich chestnut- irly dark with black through his tail. I supose all you can do is remember what it looks like when you go to buy one.

what sorts are out there and what are the best to use in your opinion

But im not an experiences showie so what do I know lol

Dont weight it unless you dont like his tail carriage :) (too high)

Hi guys

what is value for money? How much should you pay?

how thick should it be?

Haha yes I would definitely ride in one a few times to know exactly where it should go

To me, a good lse tail is one that isnt too heavy and isnt lling apart. It should preferably not appear like a toilet brush at the top.

To me,Horse hair fabrics -No.40-Herds. a good lse tail is one that isnt too heavy and isnt lling apart. It should preferably not appear like a toilet brush at the top.

The main problem with the chestnut will be matching a lsie to his tail - Toby for me,Horse hair bracelets-No.1, wouldnt have been too hard to match as he has a , orangey chestnut tail, while Barcoo and Joe were near impossible to match as Barcoo has deep purple and bright burnt orange in his tail and Joe has white, black, pale yellow, dark purple and orange in his.

Thankyou

I paid $190 for Maggies lse tail and its made by Champion Tails (bought from Saddleworld). The Champion Tails website is playing up a bit at the moment. I quite like my lsie and it looks decent when I put it in. The downside of having a black tail is that her tail sunbleaches so I have to regularly dye it to match her lsie. I dont have any pics of her with it in as Ive only used it at home as Im playing around with placement at the moment to make sure I can put it in and not have it looking obviously ke. The quality is quite good. Its not heavy and isnt lling apart - and it really wasnt taken care of while I moved houses and got a little messy but hasnt lost many of the hairs. I do condition and brush it regularly when Im using it though.

ahh yes. I have had the champion tails products and they are quite good. Saddleworlds nearby too so thats good. I have a chestnut so hopefully I dont need to dye his tail. I dont know what thickness yet so ill have to have a look

should you get weights

Sorry, I havent really answered all of your questions but I hope its enough - my brains a jumbled mess leftover from ANZAC day celebrations!

Thanks ellygrace

With a TB youll want a hunt style cut. Not the straight across the bottom style the breed shows like. Weighted tails are usually illegal.

Im mainly directing this thread at people who have had experience in the show ring with lse tails.

My TB has a pretty thin tail and I was looking at a lse tail for him. So I was wondering

But im not an experiences showie so what do I know lolnar I wasnt going to weight it originally. Just wanted to hear what people had to say about weighting
