Description
Waldhausen Extra Wide Multicolour Plaiting Bands
Waldhausen Extra Wide Plaiting Bands are soft TPU mane bands supplied in a multicolour mix of glowing red, yellow, pink, blue and green. They are made for riders and grooms who want a wider, softer band that is easier on the hands and gentler on the horse's mane than standard narrow elastics.
Best for everyday yard plaiting, lessons, fun rides and pony club turnout where a splash of colour is part of the look. They suit horses and ponies of all types, including thick native manes.

How to Use
- Brush the mane through and lightly dampen it with water or plaiting spray.
- Divide the mane into even sections using a mane comb and secure each section with a band.
- Plait each section down, then wrap a band around the end two or three times, keeping the tension firm but comfortable.
- Roll or fold the plait up and secure with a second band if you want a rosette finish.
- To remove, cut the bands free with an unpick or plaiting knife rather than pulling them through the hair.
FAQ
What are these plaiting bands made from?
They are made from TPU, a soft and flexible material that is kind to your hands and to the horse's mane.
What colours do I get?
A multicolour mix in glowing red, yellow, pink, blue and green.
Why choose extra wide bands over standard ones?
The wider band gives you more to hold and stretch, which makes plaiting less fiddly and reduces the pinching feeling in your fingertips during a long session.
Are they suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes. They can be used on horses and ponies, including thicker native manes, and are also handy for forelocks and tail sections.
Are these bands suitable for competition plaiting?
They will hold a plait neatly, but bright colours are usually reserved for fun rides, clinics and pony club days. For affiliated showing classes most riders use bands that match the mane colour.
How should I remove the bands?
Cut them with an unpick or plaiting knife close to the band, taking care not to cut the mane. Pulling bands out can break the hair.
