Slide-On Tail Instructions


Braid a small section of hair at the bottom of the tailbone (approx 10-14 inches long).
Be sure that the braid is approx. the same diameter as t
he hole in the extension.
Secure the
braid with a rubber band.
Using a latch hook, pull the braid down through t
he hole of the extension.
Now, tie a knot in the braid. The tail extensi
on will rest on the knot.
For the most natural appearance, the extension should be attached dire
ctly below the tail bone.
To better secure he extension you can wrap the braided knot
with electrical tape or,
run a 5" cable tie down through the hole
and braid and pull snug.
The bottom of the tail extension should fall at a
bout the horse's fetlock.
Some of your horse's natural hairs may be longer
than the extension hairs.
If this is the case, trim the hairs so that
they are the same length.
The first time you attach the extension stand to the side and have someo
ne slowly back the horse.
If the tail starts to drag the ground STOP. (If the horse steps on the extension he c
ould pull out the braid).
Check that the extension is sitting as close to t
he tail bone as possible.
If it is then we would recommend trimming the extension so that the horse can back without s
tepping on the extension.
Under AQHA Rules and Regulations, "Tails may be lengthened by hair to hair attachment only with no attachment of a
ny kind to the tailbone".

Extension Care
All tails are 100% Natural Horse Hair and should be shampooed and conditioned regularly.
Blow dry and fluff your extension to give it a full look.
To remove knots use your fingers or gently brush, DON’T PULL, your tail extension.
Do not leave your tail extension attached overnight.
Remove the extension after your day of competition is complete.
With the Tie-in style, you may leave your braided section in overnight.
However, the next day prior to attaching your extension be sure to check that the braid is still snug.
To maintain the health of your horse’s tail, it is important that you remove the braided section at the end of the show weekend.
