Turner way of doing the tail ribbons!
With many thanks to Shiatsudales for sorting the images out.
These instructions and images are from LancsLass and nothing to do with shiatsudales. Lancslass deserves all the credit, I just had the time to move it over from the old board.
This is easy to do once you have done it once and very effective.
Take a piece of hair from either side at the top of the tail, as you would when plaiting.
Join together with an elastic plaiting band. you can stitch it if you prefer, but it is time consuming and the effect is no different to that done with the bands.
Plait approx 3 - 4 inches in length, leaving enough hair spare at the end of the plait.
Secure the plait with a band.

Take hold of the plait and loop it upwards.
Feed the end of the plait back thru itself at the top. Take hold of the end of the plait once through and just pull enough through so that you cannot see the plaiting band.
You will now have formed a loop
Secure the base of the loop with a band.
You should now have a bun.
Then all you need to do is tie in the ribbons. In my (LancsLass)opinion, different widths of ribbons suit different ponies,
ie. a youngster will be better with the thinner ribbons as in the pics, where as an older pony with a chunkier "bum" suits the wider ribbons.
Happy ribbon tying folks! Hope this helps.

I know, there's quite a few things I'd like to save on here before the old Dalesfans goes into the sunset... your tail ribbon pics for one... And what about peeps Remembrances? I think it would be better if we can just import them without people having to redo the posts...
