How I Wash My Horse's Tail | Horse Tail Care - Life With Horses TV

Washing and keeping your horse's tail clean is a big part of having a long, thick, and healthy horse tail. When your horse's tail gets dirty... it also gets dry... and when the tail is dry... it makes your horse's tail itchy and THAT makes him/her want to rub. Rubbing causes loss of tail hairs and will make your horse's tail thinner and can even create a bald tail in places if he/she rubs too often. Those hairs will have to grow back in order for your horses tail to look full and thick. I heard it takes as long as 2 years for a horse to grow a hair back after it has lost it. That's a long time! So let's learn together, how to keep them from rubbing and losing their tail hairs. Mentioned in this video: Lucky Braids Shampoo...http://amzn.to/2x8henR I love love love Lucky Braids Shampoo.
