A couple of years ago I leased a half-Arab who would occasionally curl
his tail up over his back and swat me with it. I figured he was expressing
his displeasure at having to ride around in circles in an arena when he'd
rather be out on a trail. He never swatted me when we were doing anything
other than riding in circles.

[Also, I have a Keeshond mix with that Spitz tail. I'm having a really hard
time visualizing an Arab with Keetie's tail curled up over its back  ;-)]
