A horse has 9 bones in its tail
The horse's tail is made of a collection of vertebrae knows as either the caudal vertebrae or coxigeal vertebrae.
Horses have 205 bones in their body with the exception of the Arabian, they have fewer bones totaling 163.
It is commonly said that Arabians only have 16 tail vertebrae, but in reality they will have between 16-18 like any other breed of horse.

First of all a horses TAIL has 9 bones called a dock, NOT a fishing dock. STUPID PEOPLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The number of coccygeal vertebrae i.e. in tailranges from 15 to 21
210 but some breeds only have 34 ribs in stead of 36 ribs.
The breed has 17 ribs, five lumbar bones and sixteen tail vertebrae. All other breeds have 18 ribs, six lumbar bones and eighteen tail vertebrae. Answer2: Arabians display a higher rate of having less ribs and vertebrae, but generally this is because two vertebrae bones tend to be fused together making it look like one bone instead of two. All other breeds of horse have the ability to be born with one less rib or vertebrae also, which means this trait is not unique to the Arabian breed.
There are 28 bones in a cat's tail.
A meerkat has 185 bones. Meerkats have an endosystem and no tail bone just a tail that help them with balance.
Arabians have a naturally high tail carriage.However some less than honest people will try to apply caustic agents to the horses tail or rectum to try and get their horses to hold their tails even higher. Not only is this illegal, but it is painful for the horse and is considered animal cruelty.

Not all roping horses have braided tails. There are many events where a rider may braid their horses tail because it helps keep it out of the way.
Arabians have fewer tail bones than most breeds, so they carry their tails very high naturally. They also have an interesting angle between the neck and the head, about 90 degrees. They have very fine coats, and can stand from 14.2-15hh usually. Arabian horses also have shorter backs and are known for the "dished" face. They have a narrow muzzle with rather large nostrils. They can come in many colors, but the most common are bay, gray, chestnut and black. No Arabian horse is truly "white".
