Top Tips
-
Flatten the Coat
If the coat is a little fluffy or long you can start by spraying a bit of water or diluted essential oil coat conditioner to dampen it & sit it flat.
-
Choose Your Design
Choose styles that accentuate your horse’s conformation or your own style. If your horse has a slopy shape rump you could try a ‘crown’ to give the appearance of it being more rounded.
-
Get the Right Angle
If your horse is tall you can stand on a step to ensure the markers are the same on both sides from the top.
