Quick Tip #5

Do you braid your horse's mane or tail in the winter to keep it protected and clean? If so, you probably use braiding bands to secure it. The ends of the hair are the most fragile and tight bands can easily break off them off. Instead, braid in a 1' section of soft ribbon and use this to secure the ends. It will be much better for the hair. You might even notice that your manes/tails seem to grow faster now that the fragile ends are better protected against breakage!
