How long for tail to grow out?

[Sol]

Think i'm getting a bit jealous of all the people on our yard who have horses with gorgeous unpulled tails.... I want Dan to have one!

But, he had his tail pulled when I bought him, and so when it started to go bottle-brush-y I tried pulling it - even one hair at a time it bled o.o he didn't mind, but I decided to trim the sides with scissors instead. It looks ok but... I don't know. I'd love him to have a lovely, full tail but he's so narrow, I'm not sure if it would suit him?

If I DO let it grow, how long should it take to look 'normal'??

Thanks,
Sol x.

How long have you had him/left it for?
My big girl was hogged, legs clipped and tail pulled last year, and her tail has taken about 3 months to grow through to an okish sort of length, it will be another few months yet before its right though - its having the will powerr to leave it when he looks like a startled hedgehog that is the problem though! x

2-3 years for those bog brush side bits to get to the bottom. We've just got there with our sweet itch mare

Wonderful.... and it'll probably grow out and I'll hate it!
It's only been a few weeks... hmm. Ah well.... we'll see how long it takes before I get sick of it!

Pulled tails are much smarter! If he bleeds when you pull it, then get a smart tails thinner, really easy to use and does the job really quickly too. The horse won't even no you've done it and it will look ten x better than done with scissors or clippers.

It's actually taken 4 years for my mare's tail to grow out.

They had clipped it up the sides to look pulled!

Pulled tails look smart, but I seem to go ott if anything I never know when to stop! I can't decide..... :/
