How to Grow Your Horse's Tail, Part 1

Horses' tails can be a great source of pride or a real problem.  Some horse's tails never seem to grow.  Some horses have tails that grow, but the horses keep rubbing them out or breaking them off. 

If you follow these simple steps, you can protect the hair that your horse grows naturally to keep it from breaking off.  If you want to drastically boost the rate of growth to 3"-4" of new growth per month, then get the homemade rapid growth recipe at:

First, you need to untangle your horse's tail.  Do not ever use a comb of any kind on your horse.  A comb will prevent you from gaining a long, luxurious tail more than any other grooming equipment you use on your horse.  Use a stiff bristle human hair brush to de-tangle the tail.

Start at the bottom of the tail and work your way up to the top.  De-tangle small sections at a time.  I like to spray the tail heavily with a spray shine product such as show sheen or laser sheen to help me get it untangled.  If it's really bad, I use Cowboy Magic for de-tangling.

Once you have the entire tail de-tangled, you need to wash it.  Any regular shampoo will do fine.  I like to follow up with a good conditioner.  If I am using my rapid growth formula, this is when I apply it to the roots and rub it in real good with my fingers.

The next step I do with my horse's tail is to braid it from the end of the tail to the bottom of the tail bone.  Be sure to leave it loose around the bottom of the tail bone so it doesn't irritate your horse.  I seal the very bottom of the braid with black plastic electrician's tape.  Never use a rubber band, as this will break the hair.

As the tail grows longer, I fold the tail, doubling it up below the bone.  Then I apply another piece of electrician's tape to secure the fold below the bone.  This is all you need to do to give most horses the best chance to grow their tail naturally.
