The horse kicks, stay away?
This answer is a good one, but you really need to pay attention to the different colors of ribbons. All the of the different colored ribbons mean a different thing. I have seen people use a red ribbon for a horse that is pregnant. So ask someone at the stable or where ever your go.
White Means That the horse is a stallion, So if you have a mare dont come to close especially if she is in season also be careful because he could be a bit frisky and buck or kick out or something like that.
A rider will do this to warn other riders that the horse may kick if you come up too close behind it. I used to also do it because I rode an ex-race horse who would try to race if a horse came up too quickly. It's just a way of letting other people know they need to be courteous and give your horse some space.
A red ribbon means that the horse is known to kick out a horses and other things that come up behind them. This means DO NOT walk your own horse, or yourself behind this horse, as it could kick out and injure you or your horse. Walk beside this horse, or if you know your horse is not a kicker, walk in front of it.
A red ribbon means the horse kicks. Ucually seen on the hunting field.
A green ribbon means, he may kick - usually put on a young horse.

For Howrse: The horse might kick.It means that the horse is a kicker.The red ribbon means that the horse has been known to kick and you should stay well away.it means taht the horse is likely to kick out if you get too close to it.
A red ribbon on a horses tail means that horse is a kicker. ^Used in horse shows. Just as above answer says, it is a warning so in a open flat class you do not ride too close to the other horse.
You are unable to plait your horse's tail or put a ribbon in, sadly.
That the horse is a girl and it is in the show as the star.
This means that the horse is a stallion. Stay away, especially if you have a mare that is in heat. ~Deb~
When trail riding or showing a red ribbon means the horse kicks so stay back. I suppose a yellow ribbon might mean the same.
stay away from its rear end- it'll kick. ;)
If the red ribbon is in the horses tail it means the the horse kicks out. It's a warning sign saying "Stay far away so you don't get kicked." Usually you'll see this when the horse is in a class with many other horses in the ring at one time.
The tail brace being worn in the show ring is part of the long history of the Tennessee Walking Horse. Walking Horses have worn tail braces since they started showing.
What do you mean? As in award ribbons? Whatever you can get. Ribbons on their tails at horse shows? Here's a key: Red ribbons signify that a horse is a kicker. This means that any other riders should be careful not to crowd the horse, especially from behind. This is the most common color of tail ribbon and thus is the best understood. Often people choose to use a red ribbon if a horse is green or inexperienced because other riders are more likely to understand the meaning. A green ribbon means that a horse is inexperienced and likely to misbehave. This is suitable for young horses or for horses who are particularly spooky in nature. If you see a horse with a green ribbon in his tail, approach him with caution. Give him space when riding near him, and be sure to keep an eye on him when in the ring. A green horse may spook or otherwise misbehave in unexpected ways. A blue* ribbon says that this horse is a stallion. Because stallions should only be handled by adults, and can be unpredictable at times, stallion owners will sometimes use a blue ribbon in his tail to warn off other riders. This is particularly important if you have a mare. It is unfair to a stallion's rider to ride your mare too close to a stallion in the ring, especially if she is in season. The stallion can be the best behaved boy out there, but having an in season mare close by will distract him. In the worst case scenario, you could cause a serious accident by bringing your mare too close to a stallion. Caution is always sensible when seeing a horse with a blue ribbon in his tail. White ribbons signify that a horse is for sale. Because it can be difficult to successfully advertise at a show, using a white ribbon is an excellent way to show that your horse is for sale. That way prospective buyers can see him perform in the ring, and know that they can approach you after the class if they are interested. *I have heard that the color may also be yellow.
