Marks out of ten for tail plaiting???

[merlinsquest]

I think he was holding his tail slightly wonky as I dont think the top was crooked

 

[jewel]

i think it looks really good, alot better than i could do that why i have a native

 

[anim999]

oooooooooo! very nice

xx

 

[Irishcobs]

Wow thats really good. Do you want to come down and do mine for hunting?

 

[Ellies_mum2]

Very nice

I couldn't do it if you showed me a 100 times how. Co ordination between eyes, fingers and brain has a short circuit

8/10 - that's pretty amazing! I tried this with Brandy a few days ago, realised I have completely forgotten how to do it and ended up in a tangled, knotty rage trying to extricate myself, watch-strap, cuff-buttons and comb.

 

[merlinsquest]

Thanks guys.... I do get asked to do others for shows..... dont mind as long as I dont have to get up especially early!!!

 

[PeanutButterDragon]

Looks pretty perfect to me lol!

Looks super , I used to plait but dont bother now, pull instead ....No rubbing out

 

[merlinsquest]

I think I would be launched into orbit if I tried to pull his tail....... mind you I would launch anyone into orbit who did it to him too...... he has a lovely tail

 

[piebaldsparkle]

Think it looked better in real life!!!

 

[carthorse]

10/10 looks beautiful

 

[merlinsquest]

Thanks PBS..... I didnt think it looked crooked at the top last week.......

 

[brighteyes]

Nothing, because I hate you

Only kidding - just jealous........

 

[merlinsquest]

pmsl.......

10/10 that looks excellent! What a nice tail he has - my horses are liver chesnut and when I pull up bits from the sides at the top they are a lighter colour so don't look very good.

Show off

 

[merlinsquest]

Oh I think that looks lovely...... I had a liver chestnut whose tail reminded me of a ginger badger.... .dark in the middle and light at the sides

Thank you, he has a very nice tail, when it gets brushed..... it actually touches the floor now and is usually in dreadlocks!!!

 

[merlinsquest]

Jealous?????

 

[YorksG]

Moi? Hell yes

 

[merlinsquest]

....... he he he .....

If you are owned by an Appy then my heart goes out to you

.... have yet to meet one with a tail that warrants plaiting!!!!

Although in that pic, yours looks suspiciously good.... is it a wig!!

 

[popsicle]

Brilliant I'm useless and if I try it looks like a 4 year old did it LOL
10/10

 

[Tinker_Belle]

Brilliant! 10/10 as that is super neat & really tightly plaited. Looks lovely!

Another jealous one here

Well When I say pull , I cheat

Smart tail rakes are great .

Saves alot of time mind you when it comes to shows .

 

[Ravenwood]

Nope - I can definitely see a stray hair on the left hand side. You must therefore undo it and try again!

That is the old Appy, who is sadly no longer with us, it took 20 years to get her tail like that! She was 32 when that picture was taken. The other in my sig is the current Appy, with very subtle spots and quite a good tail amazingly enough. I don't want to tempt fate by pulling or plaiting it as it is so fine I think it will all break off!

 

[sachak]

looks great far better than my efforts would reveal.

although if i were being nit picky then i would say it goes a bit squiff in the middle and thicker at the ends you need to maintain thickness down the plait xx

 

[kellyeaton]

thats really good. well done!

 

[merlinsquest]

Thanks guys....

Sachak.... do you mean the central plait or the bits that come from the side..... I think I can see what you mean, but not sure how to avoid the central plait getting bigger as you are adding hair to it all the time

 

[Tiffany]

Very neat

I prefer to pull my girls tail cos I'm not brilliant at plaiting and I do like a pulled tail
