Plaiting Elastics In Bag

The Plaiting Elastics 500 Pack is a practical grooming essential for securing neat, tidy horse mane plaits for competition, shows and everyday presentation.

Remove elastics carefully after use to help minimise unnecessary pulling and hair breakage.

Elastics that remain in good condition can be kept and reused.

Store unused and reusable elastics in the supplied resealable bag to keep them clean, tidy and easy to find.

FAQs

How many plaiting elastics are in each bag?
Each resealable bag contains 500 elastics.

Are these standard-size plaiting bands?
No. They are described as larger and stronger than standard plaiting bands.

Can the elastics be reused?
Yes. Unlike very lightweight single-use bands, these are designed to be reusable when they remain in suitable condition.

What colours are available?
They are available in Black, Chestnut and White.

Which colour should I choose?
Choose the colour that most closely matches your horse's mane if you want the bands to be less visible. Black works well with dark manes, Chestnut with brown or chestnut manes, and White with light-coloured manes.

Are they suitable for competitions?
Yes. They are ideal for competition and show preparation where neat mane plaiting is required. Always follow the turnout requirements of your particular discipline.

How should I store them?
Keep them in the supplied resealable zip-lock bag to prevent them becoming scattered around your grooming kit or tack box.
