Re: [RC] ginger for horses? - Lynne GlazerHi, Kathy,I was not very clear in my post. The *Karadjorge/Remington Steele*++ horses came from the "factory" with that tail flagging behavior. Their ad was to emphasize that if you wanted that, you can breed for it, don't torture your horse to get it. That was the daring-part, as show horse folks. My Remington Steele kids only flag their tail when excited or as you say, moving out at faster gaits. Once past baby-age, the Rem grandkids by the Lipizzan stallion don't flag their tails at all, parallel to the ground is all they do. That will be good if they ever do show in dressage, they are hard-wired for the moves but with the propensity of today's judges to reward overbent, behind the bit, hock trailin' horses, we won't be going there.

Beau is pretty much flagged all the time at a trot or canter. He would flunk a dressage test because of this, though.
