Tail bag vs. braided tail wrap

T-Bred · 03-14-2005, 07:07 PM

I gotta questions guys, Monty's tail is really thin and i want to thicken it up, so what should i use? A regular tail bag or a braided tail wrap/protector? Bare in mind this will be used in turn out (which is all day) use but will be taken off about 4 times during the week for a few hours to a day. What should i use? HELP

and in the summer would that be ok with the fly's? I would think so right?

I have never used the tail bags before, I have only used tail wraps. Vet Wrap is what I use.

My mares tail is really thin so it doesn't hold a braid well....I have to you the regular tail bags...the braid ones fall right out.

I have several inexpensive tail bags (bought them on sale) and have used them on ocassion, but I have found that I use the Vet Wrap type wraps most often!

I use a braided tail wrap. I think they stay neater looking longer, and it can give my horse a longer tail so she can still feel like she has a tail.
