Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Plaiting Bands are essential for horse owners and professional grooms who prioritize a neat, competition-ready mane without compromising the animal's comfort. These sturdy, white elastics provide a secure hold for braiding while being specifically designed to be gentle on the mane, preventing breakage and skin irritation. While they offer excellent durability and a metal-free design, users should note that they are designed for single-use applications during grooming or show prep, requiring replenishment after each event.
