Product Information
Full details
The Premier Equine Padded Tail Guard with Tail Bag is an essential accessory for horse owners who frequently transport their horses and want to prevent tail rubbing and staining. This two-piece system features a secure, neoprene-lined guard and a protective cotton bag to keep the tail clean and tidy during travel. While it offers excellent protection, users must ensure the Velcro straps are fastened securely but not too tightly to avoid restricting circulation.

FAQs
Can I leave the tail guard on for long periods?
No, this product is designed for transport use. It should be removed once the horse arrives at the destination to ensure the horse's comfort and circulation.
Is the tail bag removable?
Yes, the cotton tail bag is detachable from the guard, allowing for easy cleaning or independent use of the guard if needed.
Will this guard fit all horse breeds?
The adjustable Velcro straps are designed to accommodate most common horse sizes, providing a secure fit for a wide range of dock thicknesses.
Can I tumble dry the tail guard?
No, it must be allowed to dry naturally to preserve the integrity of the neoprene and padding.
What is the best way to clean the tail bag?
The cotton tail bag is machine washable at 30 degrees alongside the main guard.
Troubleshooting
The guard keeps sliding down the tail.
Ensure the tail is clean and dry before application, and check that the Velcro straps are pulled snug enough to grip the hair without being overtight.
The Velcro is losing its stickiness.
Check the Velcro hooks for trapped hair or debris; clean with a small brush to restore adhesion.
