To think it all started with jousting bulls. They had to do something in their downtime to keep the horses fit and from going mental. And it became Art.
Laye to the party here. The tails are docked on working bull horses. Only a section is removed that grows the longer hairs. Long tails and bull horns are not a good combination.
+Birgit Schenk The tail is the normal length of the tail bone, they just cut the hair. It prevents the spear from becoming tangled in it. These horses are bred to have shorter highly muscled necks. Even when he drops the reins the horse doesnt really stretch out so much. The down side of having such a thick neck is that they aren't really all that flexible. I found this extremely soft riding, very soft contact with many moments where i could see slack in the reins. He is so soft in the hand he barely has to move it. Very well educated horse
