"Hi, I'm Kelli on behalf of Expert Village, I'm going to show you some tips and techniques I use to place a tail extension on your horses tail. So now that we have her tail nice and tangled free we are going to section it and be prepare to tie our extension in. So what we are going to do is we are going to take about probably about half her tail. Depending on how thick your horses tail is you would be able to gage this accordingly. Because you want to make sure when you section it you have enough on top so when you drop it down it is going to be covering up the extension that you are tying in. So just make sure when you are sectioning, this usually works out to be about half of the tail. So we are going to take half of her tail. We are going to twist it, just kind of tie it up here and we are going to take just a regular clip and just kind of clip it up and clip it all out of the way. So that we have this under section here to work with. So this is the part we are actually going to tie the tail into. Then when we let this down there would be enough to cover it so that it would not look like you would not be able to see it. So that is how you want to section your horses tail and prepare it for the extension tie in."
