Hi all,
I really want to try out diffrent plaits in my horses tail for diffrent shows so i would love to see your pictures!also i know what the diffrent colour ribbions mean and i would love to if i ever show my little loan pony to put a white ribbion in her tail to match herr numnah...but she is not actually for sale does this really matter?

Never heard of a white ribbon meaning the horse is for sale...usually that the horse is a stallion (white or white with a narrow blue and red line through). Green means just that, a green horse or pony, so the rider can not be sure how it will react to things, and red means the horse is a known kicker so don't get too close.

Ta dah!

I think ribbons are fine in fun turnout classes (prettiest mare for example) or if you want to say something like stallion, young horse, kicker or for sale.

But otherwise...steer clear

off point here, but reading through replies only just made connection between green horse and green ribbon....doh!
Of course, I had always automatically assumed red/danger/kicking seems like good plan....green and green...can't believe that just never connected up in head

I know nothing about tails, I just get other people to pull my pony's as me and manes and tails just dont seem to work together in a neat manner :/

Oh flippin' 'eck have the matchy-matchy society reached tail ribbons....??

Sod it, just paint your horse whatever colour you like.

If showing you wouldn't use a numnah anyway so no need for ribbons.

Afraid I don't have any photos of tail plaits as my plaited horse has her tail pulled!
