Well do you? I never have, because I have heard those stories of tails falling off after a too tight tail bandage has been left on - but horse's tail looks like a loo brush and Ihave a show this weekend.
Yes, many times and not once has there been a problem because the tail bandage had been put on correctly not like some of the vice like ways they seem to be put on now.
A tail bandage should be just rolled on with no pressure not pulled while putting on as most people seem to do.
PLEASE don't ever do it. I remember being in Pony Club when I was a kid and there was a girl who'd put a tail bandage on her pony and it was too tight, and she'd left it on overnight, and basically it cut off the circulation to the tail and the pony developed septiceamia and had to be PTS.
Her father was a MFH but obviously no-one had realised what had happened. It was awful.
