vs. wringing
Okay, the mare in the video is collected and her tail
is swinging. Tails swing when a horse is collected.
Tail wringing is different and it is a sign of
resistance; for whatever reason - physical or mental.
The mare did not win because they made a fairly good
size mistake.
Anky won because she was technically correct
throughout her ride. However, her horse was much stiffer and nowhere near as
spectacular.
