FAQs
How do I clean the Padded Tail Guard?
The padded tail guard is machine washable at 30°. It should be air-dried. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents.
Can I use this tail guard without the tail bag?
Yes, the tail guard can be used on its own for protection of the tail dock, though the bag is essential for keeping the tail clean during travel.
How long is the detachable cotton tail bag?
The tail bag is designed to be long, providing coverage for the majority of the horse's tail to keep it clean and untangled during transit.
What material is the tail guard made of?
The tail guard features a neoprene outer with a non-slip lining for secure and comfortable wear.
Is the tail guard suitable for all horse tail types?
It is designed to fit most horses. However, for very thin or very thick tails, careful adjustment of the Velcro straps is important for a secure fit.
How is the tail guard secured?
It is secured using four adjustable Velcro straps that allow for even pressure distribution.
What does the product come with?
It comes with the padded tail guard, a detachable cotton tail bag, and a reusable zippered storage bag.
Troubleshooting
Tail guard slipping down
Ensure all four Velcro straps are securely fastened and evenly tightened. Check that the non-slip lining is clean and free from debris. If the tail is very thin, consider using a small amount of hairspray on the dock before applying the guard for extra grip.
Tail bag becoming detached
Verify that the attachment points on the tail guard and the tail bag are properly aligned and secured. Ensure no damage has occurred to the attachment mechanisms.
Horse seems uncomfortable
Loosen the Velcro straps slightly to reduce pressure. Ensure no part of the guard or bag is pinching or rubbing. Check for any foreign objects trapped within the padding or lining.
Tail guard or bag appears worn or damaged
Inspect the neoprene, lining, and stitching for any signs of wear and tear. Replace the product if significant damage is observed that could compromise its protective function.
