In the horse show world, it is common to use fake horse tails. The point of a fake tail is mostly cosmetic. Fake tails can add length and volume to help catch the judge’s eye in the show pen. For some horses, weighted fake tails are used to lessen the movement of a dramatic tail. Some fake tails are made of genuine horse hair, while others are composed of synthetic fibers.

It is hard getting to the top, but it is even harder to remain there. As one of South Australia’s most decorated Junior Show Horse Riders, every success is embraced as a stepping stone toward the pinnacle of competing at Nationals.

I was a member of the Canadian Pony Club for many years. The club hosted several events every year, but one event I became passionate about was the Prince Phillip Games (PPG). PPG is a team event where riders, in teams of four, complete a series of mounted relay races against other teams.
