Clydesdale tail preparation for show UK method 1

[@lilbigrigw9904]

That horse is really calm.

Was so relieved to find that they don't actually dock draft horse tails, but just shave them instead. . . so you can always attach an artificial tail / fly swatter thing. . . and especially there is no spinal tail bone removal.

Ótimo o seu vídeo ao começar a tocar no rabo dela ficou quieta, mas fazendo massagem nas clinas ela começou a sentir vontade e ficou impaciente. Belo seu vídeo

I hope that said tail have only been trimmed, rather than docked

[@jenspiers9718]

If you look then she still has her tail, a docked tail is much shorter.

this is not humane !

[@jenspiers9718]

The tail bone is not docked, only the hair cut. In what way is it not humane?

@@jenspiers9718 Fly swatting and communication with other horses seems like they would be negatively affected.

[@jenspiers9718]

@Anne Smith her tail is down past her hocks even shaved and would have been far too heavy for her to swat flies with. They rely on muscle fascinations for flies more than their tail.
Never mind the fact that her full tail being as heavy, she doesn't lift it properly when passing faeces and it all sticks in it which creates more flies.
Do you own clydesdales?

[@jenspiers9718]

@Anne Smith and what communication does it help with other horses?
