Any advice on tail trimming please.

[amandap]

To do this you use a knife or razor and run it down and round the outside of the tail so that it goes down in layers with the middle part being the longest.

Oh great, I'm lurking so thanks for this. I feel a tail disaster coming on by my hand though.

That depends on 2 things, if I can pluck up the courage to try and how bad (embarrassing)it looks.

see I wouldn't listen at local shows necessarily and I do think it depends on the welshie and ridden tends to be longer than in hand.

OP these guys have loads of show pics

for example royal welsh stallions

5th place

3rd place was also quite long but no pics of it hanging straight! and manes seem longer to me atm

and a gelding

I think for true welshie they do look better shorter than my lad to show off hind end - you can always try it and grow it back

That's one if the reasons I'm doing the show clinic on Saturday
