Hi everyone. I recently got my first Italian pony, an Applejack. She was showing some signs of rust out her tail hole and I generally go into all my ponies that I get second hand to make sure that they’re clean. This is what I found. I have no experience with this, I’m good at removing tail rust and rust from the bodies itself, but I’ve not had an Italian before and I just wanna make sure if there’s an accepted process I’m violating.
If I were to go in with no advice I would just use pliers to try and remove the clamp, use a ziptie to go where the string is, and then work on removing the rust from the tail. I don’t generally zip tie my regular release G1, I’ve just had a lot of luck placing the tail clamp across the hole perpendicularly after removing the ring, and I rarely have ponies that are so loose the tail will pop out. Obviously I can’t get away with this here.
Any advice would be appreciated!
