Therefore, a shorter/constantly trimmed tail is much more managable and will grow thicker because the hairs are not being broken or pulled out on things. Those little 'scragglies' are at risk of being stepped on or pulled out. When you trim them they aren't anymore and they can be part of a nice, thick tail

Did that make sense? Haha.

Actually it seems to me that you werent disagreeing in this entire paragraph except the first sentence. What I said and what you said in the above post- do not conflict.

I guess it varies with the horse. Some find out ways to remove it. I prefer braiding and wrapping if it will stay on.

Well... then I'm glad we agree

I leave all my show horses' tails alone and they all have gorgeous tails. The times I've tried to bag it, they end up catching it on stuff and pulling out big chunks, or it gets totally matted from the braid rubbing against the inside of the bag. I've tried every brand of tailbag I could find and nothing seemed to work that great so I just leave them alone now, and they seem to be doing better than ever. It's less work for me too
