Did you know that...
the tail base is not just a simple hairline, but forms the bony continuation of the spine? It consists of several small caudal vertebrae. If the horse rubs against the trailer wall during transport, not only the hair is affected, but also the area underneath. A tail guard reduces friction and protects the tail from visible hair breakage.

FAQ
What is a tail guard used for?
A tail guard protects the tail dock and tail hair from friction, dirt, and external influences during transport. This can reduce chafing and hair breakage.
How do I put on a tail guard correctly?
Place it evenly around the tail dock and fasten the three Velcro straps so that it sits securely without cutting off circulation. Before setting off, you should check that it neither slips nor is too tight.
Can the tail guard be worn during longer transports?
Yes, it is also suitable for longer journeys. It is important that it is fitted correctly and is not too tight. During travel breaks, the fit should be checked if possible.
Does the tail have to be clean before applying it?
Coarse dirt and matted tail hair should be removed beforehand. A clean, dry tail reduces additional friction and ensures that the tail guard fits more evenly.
For which horses is a tail guard particularly useful?
It is suitable for all horses, but especially for those that frequently lean against the trailer wall or rub their tail against the tail bar during transport. It also provides additional protection for horses with a sensitive tail dock or tail hair prone to breakage.
What is the difference between a tail guard and a tail bandage?
A tail bandage is wrapped tightly around the tail dock. In contrast, a tail guard is fastened with Velcro straps and features soft padding as well as a durable outer material. This makes it quick and easy to attach and simple to remove after transport.

Description
- 1000D polyester fabric - durable under high stress: This resistant material protects the tail from dirt, friction, and external influences during transport. Due to its high durability, the tail guard is also suitable for regular use in the trailer.
- Water-repellent - less moisture and dirt: The surface causes moisture to bead off and prevents splash water or damp dirt from reaching the tail hair directly. This keeps the tail better protected and groomed during transport.
- Soft fleece lining - gentle on the tail base and hair: The soft fleece sits gently against the tail base and hair while also providing extra grip. This helps the tail guard stay in place better during transport without putting unnecessary strain on the tail hair.
- Machine washable - hygienic and uncomplicated: After use, the tail guard can be easily cleaned in the washing machine. Stable dust, dirt, and residue from grooming products are thoroughly washed out, ensuring it is clean and ready for the next trip.
- Protection against rubbing and hair breakage - for a well-groomed, full tail: During transport, the tail can rub against trailer walls, the rear bar, or other surfaces. The tail guard prevents the hair from being unnecessarily roughened, broken, or rubbed away at the tail base.
- Triple Velcro closure for a secure fit - reliable and individually adjustable: The three Velcro fasteners allow for even adjustment along the tail base. This ensures the tail guard sits securely without easily shifting during the ride.
- Practical storage bag - neatly stored and quickly at hand: The matching bag protects your equipment from dust and dirt when not in use and ensures organized storage in the stable, locker, or horse box. At the same time, you can keep the products compactly together and take them comfortably to training or competitions.
