FAQs
Is this tail guard suitable for all horses?
The Lemieux Tail Guard is designed as one size and aims to fit most horses. However, due to variations in tail thickness, the fit may vary.
Can I use the tail guard without the waterproof bag?
Yes, the waterproof bag is detachable and can be used with or without it, depending on the level of protection required.
How do I clean the Lemieux Tail Guard?
The Airprene material can be wiped clean with a damp cloth. The detachable bag can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle.
How should I store the tail guard?
Store the tail guard in a clean, dry place. Ensure both the guard and the bag are completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
What is the main benefit of using this tail guard?
The main benefit is protecting the horse's tail from damage, tangles, and dirt during travel, ensuring it remains neat and clean.
Can this be used for long-term stabling or just travel?
While designed primarily for travel, it can be used for short periods when extra protection is needed. For long-term stabling, other tail care methods might be more suitable to allow the tail to breathe.
Troubleshooting
Tail guard slips down
Ensure the elasticated fastenings are secured snugly. Check that the tail is not too smooth or slippery; a light dusting of grooming powder can sometimes help. For very active horses, consider adding a secure wrap over the top.
Waterproof bag does not stay attached
Check the attachment points on both the bag and the tail guard for any damage. Ensure it is correctly aligned and fastened according to instructions.
Tail appears creased after use
Loosen the elasticated fastenings slightly. Ensure the tail is not packed too tightly into the guard. Allow the tail to hang naturally for a short period after removal.
