super easy tail pulling!!!

[Firehorse]

i spent last nite looking for tips on the internet about tail pulling, having never done it before. (chose to do this rather than plait for upcoming show.) i came across a video of a show producer who recommended using a dog grooming rake to do it! so, i raided my dog grooming tool box, and gave it a go!! and what fab results and soooooooo easy to do! here's a link to the grooming rake, i'll hve to get a pic of pony's tail tomorrow to post on here too!

Fab, has anyone got any video links/good websites for how to neaten the tail? My TB's tail is starting to looks ridiculous

Those rakes are very handy, BUT, speaking from experience here, you have to keep on top of it otherwise tails grow out looking like a bogbrush much faster than traditional pulling

I've been using them for years, but only having arabs and natives now, I have reverted back to using the comb for the dogs and cats!
