more on tails....

[JenHunt]

how exactly does one stitch a tail up like k9h showed in her picture in the last discussion about tails?

I'm thinking i might add it to my reprtoire and see if i can slowly de-sensitise ron to it so he doesn't buck every time his tail if folded up!

I do a normal tail plait & then just carry on with the plain plait to the bottom.
Band that, fold a third up & stitch up that amount then fold that on itself again & stich that up.
Sometimes feel like I could use a knitting needle for it but manage with a normal one!
I stitch in the v made where the hair comes across (if that makes sense?) You can just see the thread in the pic. Alternating sides as I go up.

Always stays up & clean.

marvellous thank you!

I just have to work out how to stop it making him want to buck now!

Pete has a 17.3 hireling on Saturday - the same horse that managed to somersault the pair of them over a show jump a fortnight ago, and the same horse that jumped a five bar gate from trot on his first days hunting.... could be an interesting day!

If up fully than shouldn't kick out to much? May just need to get use to it!

Sounds like Peter will have a interesting day! Hope he enjoy's it!

If were off one day I will come over for the day!

Hope to see you with us in the new Year!....LOL!
