Best Answer

The tail of a horse consists of two parts. The dock and the skirt. The dock consists of the muscles and skin covering the coccygeal vertebrae. The term "skirt" refers to the long hairs that fall below the dock. It has a curvy shape, with small tufts of thick hair.

Well a horse's ear isn't really a specific shape, but I would say that it is a diamond but with curved edges. So either a diamond or an oval.

How does a horse use its tail to talk to humans?

A horse can use its tail to communicate with humans in many ways. For example, when a horse is experiencing pain or discomfort, it tucks its tail in tightly. However, a horse with colic may carry its tail at an unnaturally high angle away from its body. A horse swishes its tail from side to side violently when it is annoyed, whilst a particularly irritated animal may even swish it up and down, When the tail is carried high and the horse is prancing or cantering, it means the horse is in high spirits. General contentment is indicated by a tail in a relaxed state.
