Full details
The Lincoln Plait Aid in Red is designed for equestrians, particularly those preparing for competitions, seeking to achieve perfectly neat and uniform plaits. Its key benefit is the efficient division of the mane into three equal sections, simplifying the plaiting process. A potential caveat is that it is a specialized tool, best suited for those who regularly plait their horse's mane. This durable plastic tool ensures no damage to the horse or mane while making plaiting faster and more precise.

FAQs
What is the Lincoln Plait Aid used for?
It is used to divide a horse's mane into three equal sections, making it easier to create uniform plaits, especially for competitions.
Is the Lincoln Plait Aid safe for my horse's mane?
Yes, it is made of plastic, which is designed to be gentle and avoid causing damage or breakage to the mane.
How many colors is the Lincoln Plait Aid available in?
It is available in Green, Blue, and Red.
Can I use this tool to detangle my horse's mane?
While it can help separate sections, it is primarily designed for plaiting and not for general detangling of a knotted mane. It's best used on a pre-combed and detangled mane.
How do I clean the Plait Aid?
Rinse under water. For tougher dirt, use mild soap and a soft brush, then ensure it is completely dry before storing.
Is this tool suitable for beginners?
It can significantly help beginners achieve neater plaits, but a little practice may be needed to get the most consistent results.
Troubleshooting
Mane sections are not equal
Ensure the comb is inserted close to the roots and that each prong is fully engaged with the mane before pulling apart. Use gentle but firm pressure.
Comb feels difficult to use on the mane
Make sure the mane is clean, detangled, and slightly damp. For very thick manes, consider thinning the section slightly with a comb or thinning scissors before using the plait aid.
Plastic feels flimsy
This is unlikely with normal use, but if the plastic appears to be bending excessively, ensure you are not applying force in a way that could damage the tool. Contact customer support if the product seems defective.
