Unfortunately, a lot of hair growth is determined by genetics as in humans so your Thoroughbred is probably never going to have a mane as thick as his Welsh pony counterpart. However, most horses can grow stronger and longer manes and tails with the right care. So how fast do manes and tails actually grow? One study has shown that even in very harsh living conditions, domestic horses can show tail growth of one centimetre in just 13 days, and it could be even faster in more hospitable living conditions.
Often, heavy breeds like cobs and draft horses will have quicker mane and tail growth, and the hair will be thicker. The tail keeps flies away. To braid a tail for the sake of YOU wanting to keep your horse looking pretty is without reason, unkind. God made the tail like it is.

You can also try the loose braids once you get the knots out. Wind knots take lots of time to happen — so plan on a bunch of time to get them out… You will probably want to work on them a little at a time!
Lots of patience and reward for your horse as you work them out. What types of grooming products could you use to prevent breakage and remove tangles? Sheen products are usually silicone-based. Some of them also have tons of additional alcohol, which eventually dries everything out. Grooming oils are deep conditioning and detangling in one step. You can use them as a tail hair mask, letting the oils soak in for hours or even overnight.
You will likely need to do a mild shampoo to remove the excess if you use a lot. Conditioners act like they would on your own head.
