Washing the Tail | Laurie Pitts

Starting with a pre-wash, Laurie shows how to deep clean a horse’s tail. She demonstrates thoroughly cleaning the tail, getting all the way to the often-forgotten tailbone. She ends by demonstrating how to comb out a tail, protecting each hair. SAFETY NOTE: As Laurie says in the video, you always need to be careful when standing near a horse’s hind end. If you don’t know the horse well or he is known to kick, make sure to stand to his side to wash his tail and be mindful of moving around his hind legs.
