Description
Smart Grooming Silicone Plaiting Bands - Tub of 1800
Smart Grooming Silicone Plaiting Bands are silicone bands for plaiting and braiding horse manes and tails, supplied in a plastic storage tub containing 1800 bands. They are best for riders, grooms and yard staff who plait regularly for shows, dressage, schooling and in-hand classes and want a large, tidy supply that will not run out mid-mane.
The bands are consistently sized for even plaits along the crest, and the tub is available in black, white and dark brown so the band can be matched to the mane colour or the rest of your show turnout.
Key Features
- 1800 bands per tub - a generous quantity for regular plaiting sessions
- Silicone construction designed for repeated use during grooming and braiding
- Consistently sized so each plait can be secured with the same tension
- Three colour options - black, white and dark brown to blend with or contrast the mane
- Durable plastic tub with a secure lid and carry handle

- Suitable for manes and tails on horses, ponies and cobs

How to Use
- Dampen the mane lightly with water or a plaiting spray and comb it flat.
- Divide the mane into even sections using a mane comb, keeping each section the same width.
- Plait each section down to the end, keeping the tension even.
- Wrap a band around the base of the plait until it feels secure but not tight against the crest.
- Roll or sew the plaits up as required for your class, then band the tail plait in the same way.
- Remove bands by snipping carefully with plaiting scissors or unpicking, then return spares to the tub and close the lid.

FAQ
How many bands are in the tub?
Each tub contains 1800 silicone plaiting bands.
What colours are available?
The bands come in black, white and dark brown, so you can match the band to the mane colour or use white for a traditional contrasting finish.
Can the bands be used on tails as well as manes?
Yes. They are intended for plaiting and braiding both horse manes and tails.
What are the bands made from?
They are made from silicone and are designed for repeated use during grooming and braiding.
How should the bands be removed without damaging the mane?
Snip the band carefully with plaiting scissors or unpick it by hand rather than pulling it out, which helps avoid tearing or pulling mane hair.
