 Don't know about expertise, but my gelding has always held his tail to the 
right when elevated, before riding, and after conditioning for 2 years+ up 
and down hills, and we did  ring work too. For 6 years.With him I think it 
was inherited. He is 68%.something CMK, 13% Wintez II, and a 6% more or 
less, Bask,egyptian, and old polish. FWIW--He also had a spinal a year and 
half ago, the vet had to put the needle all the way to the base, said it is 
the deepest spine he has ever done.Maybe that has something to do with 
it.Never back or lameness problems--if you dont' count that he was 
semi-diagnosed and treated for epm.
