It Was the first time I have ever tried to achieve the pulled look (usually leave it o'natural!) so It isn't perfect. I can't seem to get it even on both sides!

(I only ordered the tail rake yesterday afternoon so I am quite impressed it arrived so quickly

What do you think? Shall I 'pull' it a bit more to try and even it up or let it grow out a bit and then try again?

Oh, and a picture of all that came out

Well done you!!

Dont rake it again for a while but stick a tail bandage on for a few hours over the next few days as this will help tame any unruly bits. Then you will be able to see more clearly if you need to do any finishing off.
 
I would do a little more, although i do get stupidly carried away when i do my lot.

I love mine though, i use it on my mares mane too and it works pretty well, i just push her mane over to the other side rake it then snip a little bit with scissors to shorten it (told you i get carrid away)

but it is impossible to pull it, have tried twitching and sedating and there is still no chance of getting it done so deffo one of the most usefull things i have!

ETS: don't worry the bay with the scraggy mane in my siggy is not the one that has been attacked with a tail rake, that is just from being neglected!

Much smarter already! I have one as well and swear by it, I doubt Madam would like tail-pulling as she just about tolerates having her mane BRUSHED!
