Keep That Mane Clean & Strong: Why Your Horses Need Mane Bags (Set of 6)
If your horse’s mane ever looks like it’s been through a tumbleweed storm, you know the challenge of keeping it tangle-free, upright, and healthy. That’s where Ranch Hand’s Mane Bags come in — stretchy, gentle, and built for the real dirt, not just the show ring.
What Makes These Mane Bags Different
- Stretchy Lycra/Nylon blend — soft enough to stretch over braids without pulling, but strong enough to hold up to dust, sweat, and movement.
- Pack of 6 — covers the full mane so you’re not missing sections or mixing and matching odd ones.
- Protects from the elements — shields from wind, sun fade, mud, rubbing, and friction (especially at the neck or where blankets rub).
- Easy to use & wash — slip over each braid, tie securely, leave for several days, then re-braid and reapply.
- Encourages healthy growth — by minimizing breakage and preserving natural oils, you let your mane do its job—look good strong, grow long.
When to Use Mane Bags
- During dusty pasture days
- In windy or rainy weather
- When turning out with blankets that tend to rub
- Leading up to shows (to keep that mane sleek)
- Anytime you want a break from daily detangling
Story from the Ranch
Last summer, one of our geldings developed a nasty rub spot from a blanket rubbing on the mane. I tried trimming, topical salves — nothing seemed to stick long term. But once I put a mane bag over the affected area and left it in for a week, the spot healed and the hair started filling back in. That’s when I knew these bags weren’t just for show—they’re a tool for real ranch work.
Tips for Best Results
- Braid 2–3” sections and secure with a small rubber band.
- Slip the braid into the mane bag and tie snugly, but not too tight.
- Leave in 5–7 days, monitoring any rubbing or looseness.
- Remove, re-braid, and reapply — this keeps the mane healthy and trains it to lie flat.
- Wash occasionally in cold water; air dry. Lycra holds up surprisingly well if you treat it right.
