Just saw 'fancy turnout - youth' at Nationals - class 71. The horse pulling the 4-wheel cart looks like it has a broken tail... Entry 1540. Please tell me they're not doing that to the shetlands...
I'm not out to point fingers at anyone but I do think it's sad when a tail is altered. The tail serves a purpose as a fly swatter. Also, when tails are docked or ligaments cut the horse ends up with a poopy mess of a tail when out to pasture because they can't lift it to get it out of the way. In a perfect world all horses would be shown as they are. Natural movement, natural coat, natural tails. But... this is far from a perfect world.Well, tell that to the majority of Percheron, Belgian, and Clydesdale breeders then.
