Cashel Tail Shield

Protect the Tailhead from Rubbing and Breakage

The Cashel Tail Shield is a specialized neoprene wrap designed to protect your horse's delicate tailhead area from rubbing, breakage, and damage. Whether you're dealing with a chronic tail rubber, preparing for breeding, or protecting during trailering, this comfortable shield provides essential protection.

Neoprene Construction:

Made from soft, flexible neoprene, this tail shield conforms comfortably to the tailhead area while providing cushioned protection. The neoprene material is gentle on skin and hair while being durable enough to prevent rubbing damage from blankets, trailer ties, and other sources of friction.

Dual-Purpose Design:

1. Tailhead Protection:

• Prevents rubbing damage from blankets and sheets
• Protects against breakage during trailering
• Shields tailhead from chronic rubbing behavior
• Cushions against friction from equipment
• Helps maintain tail quality and appearance

2. Breeding Applications:

• Keeps tail area clear during live-cover breeding
• Maintains cleanliness for artificial insemination
• Securely holds tail out of the way
• Professional solution for breeding facilities
• Easy to apply and remove

Secure, Comfortable Fit:

The 12" x 12" design fits securely around the tailhead without slipping or causing discomfort. The neoprene material stays in place during movement while remaining gentle on the skin. The wrap is designed to provide protection without restricting natural tail movement or causing irritation.

Perfect For:

• Horses who rub their tails
• Protecting tailheads during trailering
• Live-cover breeding situations
• Artificial insemination procedures

Prevents Costly Damage:

Tailhead rubbing can create unsightly bald spots and broken hair that takes months to grow back. For show horses, this damage can be particularly problematic. The Tail Shield provides an affordable preventive solution that protects your horse's appearance and saves you from dealing with the consequences of rubbing damage.

Breeding Facility Essential:

Professional breeding operations rely on the Tail Shield to keep the tail area clean and clear during breeding procedures. The secure fit ensures the tail stays in position, while the easy application and removal make it practical for busy breeding schedules.
