How are your horses tail?

budgirl · 02-24-2005, 08:23 PM

Lately I have noticed how much dakotas tail has grown when his tail is set flat it just sits on the ground. Patty and Shilo are about the same but theirs arent of as high of quality. I was just wondering how long everyone elses horses tails were?

I have three tails...lol My older TB gelding has always had a shorter thin tail, and he has quite a high tail cairrage(sp) so it looks even shorter when under saddle lolol. My arab pony has always had a nice tail that usually touches the ground give or take an inch. And my young TB gelding had

a beautiful long thick tail until a month or so ago(don't know what's going on there) but now, it is thick at the top and has a few thin wisps at the end.

Lou Lou's is about 4-5 inches below the hock, as is Lucy's. Red's touches the ground, and granny's almost does.

I'm SO proud to say that my APPALOOSA mare has a tail that is only about 1" away from the ground. WOOT WOOT!

MY QH mare's tail touches and slightly drags on the ground.

Jackies tail drags on the ground by about 2 inches and it keeps getting longer. It's time for a trim soon.
