Ideal For
These rubber braiding bands are ideal for English riders preparing for hunter/jumper shows, dressage competitions, foxhunts, and breed shows where a neat, braided mane is required or desired. They are equally useful for everyday grooming routines to keep long manes tidy. Suitable for all horse and pony breeds. The Black bands are ideal for dark-coated horses such as bays, blacks, and dark chestnuts; the Brown bands blend beautifully with lighter chestnuts, sorrels, and palominos.
Caution
Keep out of reach of horses and children to prevent ingestion. Do not leave bands on the mane for extended periods as this can cause hair breakage or discomfort.
Store in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to maintain rubber elasticity. Remove bands promptly after shows or after braids are no longer needed. Use blunt-nose scissors for safe removal — do not pull aggressively on bands to avoid mane damage.
