Tail Wrapping

example

Tonight, while at the Stable I'm going to bring Ella into her foaling stall and groom her AND feed her in there. This way we spend some time in there and I'm able to keep her mind busy so she can get used to the idea without becoming to nervous.

I'm going to brush out, condition (a bit) her tail really well then braid it wrapping the top with vet wrap. Then I'll feed her some mash and bring her out, walk her around a bit then back in we go. The second time we're in there I will put the bottom half of her tail (the part remaining that isn't wrapped) into a tail bag.

I read looked into wrapping and bagging tails, people do it for numerous reason, something to take into consideration is whether or not it can get caught or snagged on anything ~ I'm going to wrap her tail as it is suppose to be cleaner for the foal (not having poop etc caught up in the hair) and should help keep it out of the way of the sticky placenta and foal.

I'll add the pictures I take tonight and update this post.
