OMG OMG! That's amazingly thick.

I love Len's tail, he's black, but had an incident with a tail bandage in a previous home (which managed to totally screw up the shape of his tail bone, bless him) and now he has a lot of grey running through it. He's all distinguished and salt and pepper now :)
 
I love Ron's tail, and I love the fact that I can plait it up and stitch it in so that its all out of the way for hunting.will try to get a picture of it at the weekend!

I don't think I've even got half a chance of plaiting my boys tail up for hunting when he's older!! I hope the 'standard' tail plait will stay in for him lol. Would love to see pics when you can get some :D
 
Indie's is so thick! Photo doesn't do it justice, in the summer I have to thin it as she gets too hot and then gets a sore dock. She normally keeps it very white and clean but new yard is on yellow sand!!!!

Edited to add ignore me; that's about the worse pic I could have put up but only one that shows her tail well enough!

well, they're not great pics, (the first one makes his tail look quite pathetic, but it isn't really!) but it kinda shows what i mean....

Yup, I do: he isn't with us anymore, but I love this pic, taken after a hot afternoon hacking about the Cornish countryside, and shower, and a roll! The thickest tail I have ever seen, I used to thin it so much each side, and sent lots once to someone whose horse had lost his tail, and was attempting to make falsies :-)

Afterthought...quite pleased to have an appy now, the cobs tail took me AGES to brush out, and I am saving a fortune in conditioner spray!!

I usually prefer pulled tails but here is the moo and her lovely ginger tail. (not a great pic as it is what I have on my work computer)

Sadly her and her tail are no longer with us

Poor Charisma's tail is long for a tb (hmm, fetlocks anyone?!) and muddy/pooey :-O

I have set myself a goal for the Christmas holiday and am going to clean it and her bum :) Wow how fun :D
 
Not a great pic but it's all I have on my phone. Taken a couple of months ago. Right now it is brown, muddy, contains a couple of dreadlocks and probably a 3 foot long length of bramble :-)

My Thomas's tail sadly he past away the end of september!!

But it was hard to keep it the length i wanted it cause he used to show!!
It was beauitful long, thick , black!! I was the only person that could cut it cause i loved it that much lol how sad am i??

I will try to find a picture and add it!!
 
Being somebody who chose her mare mainly for her beautiful thick blonde mane and tail, I have to admit that I love a good tail. However, I do feel I was conned somewhat as said mare poos in it constantly, and it is soooo thick it takes a good 5 or 6 rinses to get it all clean!

Also owner of an Appaloosa who has a tail only about 3 inches below dock level *sighs*

One day I will own a horse with a nice clean thick tail.....
