ok now this is going to be difficult! I need to know how to plait a tail and fast! i've got my first comp in 2 weeks time and I can barely plait a mane let alone a tail and it needs it! has anyone got any easy suggestions or pictures that could help me get the idea of how to do it
Do you know how to do a french plait in a persons hair? It's the same as that, i know thats not helpful if you cant do one of them either I cant plait tails to save my life, my friend does Shearer's for me. The other alernative would be to pull his/her tail?
Oooh...I LOVE plaiting tails! I found it easier to master than the mane.
You basically start of with 3 bits at the top and start the plait as you would normally, then you keep adding small bits in from each side as you work your way down the dock.
It's hard to explain! I've got a step-by-step picture guide from an old copy of Your Horse somewhere at home...I can scan that and send it to you if that'd help???
it's like a french plait but you go underneath with the hair not over the top as in a french plait so the plait stands up.
1.have a bottle of strong lager
2. make a normal plait for two times,but thread the hair underneath. not over the top to make the plait.
3. then introduce hair from the side of the tail and blend it in with one hair strand from the plait already started.
take it underneath again
4.repeat with hair taken from the other side of the tail and blend it into the next hair strand from the initial plait
5.repeat both steps till you get to the end
the beer is vital - it relaxes your mind enough to let go of all the instructions and let your brain operate your fingers in a slightly subconscious sort of a way
but first you must read up and struggle with the instructions hehe
cane roll is what hairdressers call it as opposed to french plait
french plait the plaits don't stand proud, cane roll (Kane roll ) they do
You don't have to plait for prelim dressage & the judge won't mark you down if you aren't. I'd just damp the top of his tail down and put a tail bandage on to travel him in then just before the test take it off so that the top of his tail is nice & tidy. Or pull it / tidy it up with a razor blade.
