How to Condition a Horse Tail

Video Transcript

"I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you some tips and techniques I use on bathing my horse. So now that we have her all rinsed what we are going to apply some conditioner to her tail. I like to use a leave in this keeps there tails really really nice and soft, and detangled for a longer period of time. So you want to make sure that you use a pretty amount, I usually fill my palm pretty full of it. So I'm just going to go around here to her tail. Of course we are going to stand off to the side, we don't want to stand directly behind. We are going to take our tail and put the majority of the detangler at the ends where it tends to get the most knotted. We are going to work our way up to the base of the tail. Just kind of running our fingers through here so we can actually physically feel the tail starting to detangle and loosen up. So you can kind of run your fingers through it. That is when you know you have used enough detangler when you can actually kind of run your fingers through your horses tail without even combing it. So I like this particular leave in because it is not greasy, it helps repeal dust, it would keep your horses tail really nice and soft and tangled free for all quiet a long period of time after you have shampoo it. So after you have that worked through really nice it would make your horses tail a whole lot easier to comb through. So that is how you want to condition your horse tail. "
