Sleek top (easy to hide). Tapered bottom (natural-looking). Real horse hair. Handmade. Custom not available.
Can be returned if it doesn’t match.
Can be used with the tail braided, or unbraided. Can be trimmed if too long.
If the colour is not a perfect match, might be able to make it work if it’s ‘blended’ in. Hang/attach the tail to truly see if it will work. Don’t just hold the tail beside the real tail.
A fake tail, and the tail braid, should be taken out after showing, as soon as possible. Docks are very sensitive. Fakes hung for a long time, can cause damage.
NEVER leave a fake/tail braid in for more than 1 day. The dock needs a break. It can be re-done that night/next morning.
Tails should be ‘pulled up’ (see photo), anytime when the horse isn’t being ridden- in the trailer, in the stall, including in the stall between classes. The shavings create a ‘higher’ floor, so it’s quite easy for the horse to step on their fake, and rip it out, or the tail could fall apart from being stepped on.
*LENGTH: To determine the minimum length needed, measure in inches, from bottom of dock, to bottom of fetlocks. Then add on 1-2” to your measurement. See photo. The fake should run alongside the dock/tail bone for 1-2”, so it swings with their tail. If not getting the tail braided, it can run for more than 2” alongside the dock.
IF THE TAIL IS GETTING BRAIDED: Fakes that are too long/hung higher up, can cause bulk/a bulge under the braid- See photo. In this case, it should be cut a bit, to run only 2” along the side the dock (so it sits lower).
❌Fake tails are NOT meant for daily use. They are not meant for horses that have short tails, and need a longer tail to swat at flies ❌
Care Instructions (Please see photos for more information): wash with same shampoo, and conditioner you use to wash your horse’s real tail. Hang to dry. Once dry, spray with Show Sheen. Brush EXTREMELY gently. Having a few hairs come out is normal. When not in use, hang freely (not in the cover bag). The cover bag should just be used for bringing the tail from one place to another. Don’t store it in a tack trunk laying down. If the tail is not kept straight, it may create a curl.
TO REMOVE CURL: put water/Show Sheen on the curl, and gently brush.
*Video on how to attach them, are posted on my Facebook Page- Katie’s Horse Care Supply 2.0 - dated April 25, 2025.
