I like the wrap-around finish the best. :)

[@CountryLover2727]

"So basically a wrap around, is a wrap around.." It looks so elegant!

[@ridingstar8991]

The wrap-around looks sooooooooo cool!

[@meldaen]

Great video! well informed and explained! Thanks a bunch for popping this up!

[@07garnern2]

great video, but most complicated way of doing a pinwheel ive ever seen! :)

[@TheBalanceKeeper9]

for pinwheels you can pull the loose hair at the end of the braid back through the braid when you pull the yarn through instead of crossing the yarn over it to make it lie flat. nothing sticks out then

[@gracebarrett4479]

That pinto is soooo cute!!!!!!

[@hannahambler1993]

i've never started a tail like that, i've always taken the third strand from the centre of the tail.

[@katnisseverdeen10101]

It would also be a lot easier for the judge to see, and the point of it is to make it look clean cut, which would not be something green yarn could do.

[@Poopedinmyboots]

For this video, it would have helped to use a different color yarn so we could follow better.

@chelsihorsetricky its just another way of doing it and its very common at A shows some times its called fishtailing as well if you want to look at other vids of it

[@hollybushhairyhounds]

Do you not have waxed cotton plaiting thread there? It is so much stronger and easier to hide amongst the hair. And you can get it in much closer colours to the horse's hair. Also, you all seem to make plaiting so complicated with adding in your yarn. so much easier to just sew them in with a large blunt bobbin or plaiting needle and some thread!

[@BrooklynnMedia]

Fake tails are quite often used in shows, they are there to make the horse's tail look fully, rather than dainty.

[@HorseLoverNoOne]

FINALLY a horse with a normal tail!

[@babeyb0y123]

@chelsihorsetricky um i will be trying this tomarow can you show some more diffrent videos on horsehy hairstyles

[@SunnysRoyalSkipper]

So, are you only using two strands to make the braid? Or are you taking hair from one side to make a third strand? I'm a bit confused...Is it a french braid or a fishtail?

[@SunnysRoyalSkipper]

Thank you!! :)

[@crystalbabcock9355]

Cool

[@thefunniegirlz1]

i was wondering that too..

[@Dlind14]

i didn't know they make extensions for horses!!

[@3mrohena]

Muy lindo:)

[@prospectbay123]

I understand the yarn should be the same color as the tail, but it would be a lot easier to see if it was green or something.

[@roxmehargylesox]

Where do you get the third strand for the braid?

[@heatherperry5081]

I live in the UK I have never seen a pinwheel and this is acceptable for showing in the US?

[@BlackbriarEq]

Pinwheels are very common in the US.

[@spendzich.5624]

So how do you tie that knot at 3:50 to 4:00? Lol out of the whole video I do NOT understand that part at all no matter how many times I replay it. Thanks!! :)

[@susanyana]

[@blueroanfilly1]

it has alot of names

[@josefeliciano7672]

No sirve la toma lateral.

[@random7670]

[@alyssaeller7193]

U need to make it tighter

[@jillianumphenour7508]

Still confused and I have a show in 2 weeks. :(

[@keeleybadger8831]

alise jolley a rawhide tail is fake horse hair like an extension

[@sarah4life050399]

My horse does that...he hates when I make his tail pretty :(

[@crystalbabcock9355]

A rawhide tail is when a horse has rubbed its tail raw

[@AngelPink10291]

Uhm no. A rawhide tail is a fake tail basically like hair extensions for a horse that doesn't have a nice full tail.

[@Unknown-cu2dd]

what did she mean by saying yarn? did she mean hair?

[@lvd3826]

She means actual yarn. Usually its the color of the tail, in this case, it was black. I have seen some horses with bright colors though.

[@hannahambler1993]

by "YARN" she means thread :)

[@laurenbivins2700]

Your pinwheel is too loose also hunters usually have larger pinwheels than that.

[@georgiee00]

saw fake tails in the shop... im like what the hell is that for??? is it for people to wear?!??!?

[@blowdiene]

Fake tails are used a lot at competitions

[@georgiee00]

[@alyssaeller7193]

That's not a pinwheel

[@ellieblack914]

Fake tail seriously!!!!! Too much
