Cob - hogged and pos feathers clipped off - now tail?

[juliecwuk]

Just wondered, Rosie is hogged due to sweetitch, because of her current lameness i may be chopping her feathers off sooooo if shes all hogged and clipped then what do i do with her massive tail?!! shes gonna look really disproportionate - not that i really mind so much, but it will give me something to do whilst im treating her with loads of grooming time! lol!

have attached a pic to show you approx how thick her tail is! (she hadnt been hogged at that point obviously! lol!)

Please leave her tail!!!

But also please attach a picture!

I would leave the tail as it suits her I personally do not think many cobs can carry off a pulled or clipped tail

With my arab i put a damp tail bandage on most days whilst feeding/grooming to smarten and straighten the top of tail as I don't want it pulled
