Choose a length—Medium (34\"), Large (44\"), or X-Large (55\")—that ensures the finished braid does not hang lower than the point of the fetlock to prevent the horse from stepping on it while backing or turning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will this material pull or dry out the tail hair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not at all. The ultra-soft Lycra is specifically chosen for its smooth texture, which helps to smooth the hair cuticle and reduce frizz. Because it doesn't absorb the hair's natural oils like cotton or fleece, it actually helps promote a shinier, healthier tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e TBL-00398 BLACK\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Medium \/ Black","offer_id":42250647142621,"sku":"TBL-00398 BLACK","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Medium \/ Lime","offer_id":42250647175389,"sku":"TBL-00398 LIME","price":38.32,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Hot Pink","offer_id":42250647208157,"sku":"TBL-00398 PINK","price":44.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Red","offer_id":42250647240925,"sku":"TBL-00398 RED","price":37.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Royal","offer_id":42250647273693,"sku":"TBL-00398 ROYAL","price":44.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium \/ Turquoise","offer_id":42250647306461,"sku":"TBL-00398 TURQ","price":37.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long \/ Black","offer_id":42250647371997,"sku":"TBL-00498 BLACK","price":42.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Long \/ Lime","offer_id":42250647404765,"sku":"TBL-00498 LIME","price":44.59,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long \/ Hot Pink","offer_id":42250647437533,"sku":"TBL-00498 PINK","price":44.6,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long \/ Red","offer_id":42250647503069,"sku":"TBL-00498 RED","price":42.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Long \/ Royal","offer_id":42250647535837,"sku":"TBL-00498 ROYAL","price":34.51,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Long \/ Turquoise","offer_id":42250647568605,"sku":"TBL-00498 TURQ","price":44.58,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/optimized_5ae76bbe-bf3a-44bc-8ec3-a3192b66067f.webp?v=1767039167","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/lycra-tail-braid-med-black","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
