I'm seriously considering buying a few. Any feedback on them? Better than traditional tail bags? My biggest thing is wondering if they are safe to use during turnout ? We have 1 side of the pasture that's barb wire they dont really hang out on that side but I'd be concerned they might get hung up. They are only out for a few hours a day. 

I just got mine. Put it on yesterday. Took my gelding for a 7 mile ride through the mountains today, lots of long trotting and loping. It didn’t move at all. Seems lightweight and comfortable. Planning on ordering another. I really like it.

I used a tail boot on a 2 year old filly that I had turned out with other horses. Stayed in just fine.  She did lose her tail switch once by getting it hooked on the shed wall.  It released (switches are fastened by a piece of velcro) and didn't pull the tail boot off. I found the switch and reattached it with no problems.  These really are great and I like them much better than noisey tail bags. 

Oh good I didnt know they were attached by velcro. Thank you for sharing. 

I use them and really like them.  They wont get hung up because the swisher will break away if they get in a bind.  Mine will stay on until I take it off.  Sometimes I leave them on for a month or so.  You can use my code to save 10% off your purchase - 10offAmandaHaradon

Thank you! I'm definitely going to get a few. Do you wash and condition the tail first? 

I like to have a clean tail when I first put it on in the spring. But the weather isn't always warm enough to be washing tails, so I will brush it out good and put the boot on.  Then wash the tail when it warms up enough. 

I've been pretty impressed with the one I bought. I do think I should of went up a size. I ordered a small. 

It's stayed in being turned out, doing corral work and moving cows. I won't lie I was pretty skeptical and thought I'd spent $25 for him to lose it.  LOL the true test for me will be when the bugs come out. I ususally have to remove tail bags because their tails get tangled trying to swat at bugs.

... I am still struggling. I lose at least one swisher every 48 hours on both stalled horses and horses turned out in small pastures with no barbed wire. I also find them having quite a bit of breakage off at the tops after about a week or so or random strands that will be pulled out and broken off. I have always been a freak about my horses tails and they have always stayed bagged or in vet wrap with the swishers so taking care of tails is not a new concept to me, but I am having heck with these dang tail boots that I want to love so badly. If I redo them (which I don't mind) and don't mind replacing the swishers (with my own hay twine at this point) then I will say I doubt one ever gets ruined like a tail bag does. But everyone seems to be having better luck than I do!

My mares can't stand the "splat" of regular tail bags when they swish flies, and I hate doing braid in tail bags (not to mention how tangly those get), so I'm very much so considering these as well. I'm holding off ordering mine until I can check my horses' braid sizes... My mares actually get their tails caught on the corrals or step on them, so for me, this is bound to be a better option lol

geez I thought I was the only one that didn't really like it. Breakage and broken stray hairs all the time. I just took it off and braided the tail leaving it out of a bag
