This is pretty much for the same reason humans brush their hair. It keeps it from getting knots in it, gets the grime out and is for general well being of the horse.

How do you get your horses mane and tail long and thick?

if u want it for a show u can put a fake tail in. Or you could wash and condition it. After it looks really nice. And after its dry brush it out. Good nutrition and keeping them clean.... Use a stiff bristled brush not a mane and tail comb. Keep tail in a tail bag or plaited with those material things (name escapes me ATM). Keep mane loosely braided. This stops hair breaking. Obviously you need to regularly take them out and brush etc.
