About this item

Highlights

  • Proprietary "Slick" Elastic: Crafted from a breakthrough material that will not dry out, crack, or become brittle over time, ensuring maximum reliability in all weather conditions.
  • Anti-Breakage Technology: The ultra-smooth surface eliminates the friction that causes split ends and snapped hair, making it ideal for horses with thin or slow-growing manes.
  • Tasteless Surface: Formulated specifically without the bitter "rubber taste," a vital feature for professional grooms who hold bands in their mouths during high-speed braiding.
  • Discipline Versatility: Perfect for creating the flat, uniform "banded" look in Western Pleasure or securing the base of Hunter and Dressage button braids.
  • Odor-Free & Horse-Friendly: Designed to be completely scent-free to ensure a comfortable, irritation-free grooming experience for even the most sensitive horses.
  • Generous 400-Count Supply: Each resealable bag provides enough bands for a full multi-day show circuit, satisfying the "one-jar" rule for serious competitors.
  • Standard Sizing: Optimized for traditional mane banding and braiding where precision and a tight, secure hold are required.

    Disappointed by these bands.

    I was looking for some braiding bands that would be more durable. I have had a lot of trouble in the past with rubber bands that break as you're trying to put them on the braids. I use them for shows, and at home to train manes. I don't like to have to keep getting more bands out of the container because they're snapping as I'm using them. Also, if I am using them at home, I'd like them to stay in the mane longer than one day. These bands were not impressive at all. I may just throw them all away. I feel like I wasted my money. I bought them because of the advertising and the reviews.

    worked fantastically on a flaxen mane

    I first used these on a thin chestnut mane, and they were pretty visible. But then i braided a flaxen mane and a black/white mixed paint mane and they worked out perfectly. Its hard to find just the right bands for the flaxen mane, but these worked out so well and were barely visible. The same for the paint mane, its a pain to switch back and forth between black and white bands, but these worked out well! And the bands held up through out the day, didnt have an issue with them being too fragile or weak.

    They do the job

    Use them for training braids. They hold well. Haven't used them/don't plan to use them for show braiding, so I can't comment to how they'd do for a full day's showing. But pleased with their performance for my use.

    Great bands!

    These are the strongest and most consistent quality braiding bands I have used to date. I would highly recommend using them.

    Love these!

    I've been using these for a while now - they feel different than the usual rubber bands but work wonderfully. I haven't had one snap on me yet! Great for everyday brainding to keep hair neat and tidy.

    Awful

    I tried using these several times and they fall right out! Even with braid tight and no conditioner they will not stay in the hair

    Nice bands that are not too thick.

    I like the clear bands so they are less noticeable no matter what color horse I put them on and they seem to be strong enough to hold for mane training. I personally like the bands just wish they came in a tub rather than a little plastic zipper pouch.

    Love the colors!

    I haven't been able to use these yet, but I am really happy with them. They feel like they would hold up well and not break down like regular elastics, and they are in a funky color that my kids will love. I will definitely use this brand again if I buy more elastics!
