Horse Mane and Tail Care Center

A cleaner mane and tail routine

1. Check the roots and skin. Look for itch, rubs, scabs, tenderness, heat, hair loss, and broken hair.
2. Remove dirt first. Do not drag a brush through dry mud, sweat, bedding, or tangled debris.
3. Work from the ends upward. Hold the hair above the section you are detangling to reduce pulling at the roots.
4. Keep braid tension controlled. Even sections and steady hands matter more than pulling harder.
5. Protect only clean, dry hair. Check braids and tail bags regularly for rubbing, moisture, and slipping.
