It's basically their way of speaking in ALL CAPS in hopes their message is heard and understood. Some horses end up twirling their tails in circles. In most cases, the more energy a horse puts into their tail swish, the stronger their feelings are. It's a warning that can easily lead to a hard kick if the cause of the horse's annoyance isn't remedied quickly. A horse's tail swishes back and forth when they're feeling particularly irritated about something. If you ever catch your horse actively swishing their tail, you better watch out. A yearling might do this when it gets on the bad side of an older horse. Horses tuck their tails in close to their bodies when they're either afraid or feeling particularly chastened. ![]() Imagine a scared dog with its tail pulled tight between its legs, and you can recognize the same body language with your horse. The opposite of a happy raised tail is a tucked tail. If she's in foal or not in the mood, she might swish her tail back and forth to tell stallions that they better stay away. That same mare will also use her tail to ward off unwanted suitors. This is usually the only invitation that an eager stallion needs. When a mare is in heat and ready to mate, she will often lift her tail up and to the side. Male and female horses have an instinct to communicate with each other for the sake of reproductive purposes. It's easier to notice an unusually high tail in breeds with naturally low hanging tails, like draft breeds. Some horse breeds, like Arabians, naturally hold their tails up high. You'll need to know your horse's normal tail carriage to recognize this type of body language. Instead of pairing the raised tail with an alert stance, a happy horse might prance around with the zoomies or act silly. Horses also lift their tails when they're happy or excited. When other horses in the herd see their friend give this signal, they stop what they're doing and adopt the same stance. They do this by raising their tail slightly, pricking their ears forward, and standing as if they're ready to run. If they see, hear, or smell something suspicious, it's part of the herd dynamic to warn the entire group. As prey animals, horses are always on the lookout for possible threats. One of the important messages they can send is one of warning. When horses are living in a herd, even a small one, they communicate with each other almost constantly. Correctly interpreting the following tail messages will clue you in on what they're thinking. The next time you're with your horse, pay close attention to their tail. They use their surprisingly dexterous tails to send specific messages about everything including their health, mental state, and current emotions. Horse tails are actually an important part of how our equine friends communicate both with us and with other horses in their herd. While we're all standing around admiring this gorgeous physical feature, however, we often don't realize that a horse's tail contributes to more than their good looks. If you're braiding your hair on the left hand side, don't forget to reverse the instructions.Long and flowy, frizzy, braided, or banged, a horse's tail is always one of their best features.If your braid is too loose or you pull away from your scalp, you'll likely end up with lumps in your finished braid. Pull your hair back toward your crown to help create a smooth style. Maintain tight, even tension on your hair as you braid it. ![]() Since this braid is executed horizontally on your head rather than vertically (like a French braid down the middle of the back of your head), the dropped right portion of hair horizontally across your head gives the illusion of a waterfall.Cross this entire left portion of hair over the middle section of hair, and again, let the right portion of hair drop. This is exactly the same process as when you first started adding new portions of hair to the braid.Do this by sectioning a piece of hair from the top your head, and combine that new portion of hair with your current left portion of hair. Then, add more hair into the current “left” portion of hair. Cross this new “right” portion of hair over the middle portion of hair, like you would in using the normal three strand braiding technique. ![]() Grab a piece of hair approximately the same size as the hair portions you are already using in the braid. From here on out, you will be using a french braid technique to add hair to the braid from both the top and bottom areas of the braid: Once you have dropped the right portion of hair, get your next “right” portion by taking a portion of hair from the roots right behind the dropped piece. Continue braiding by incorporating new hair. ![]()
