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.

How do you stop a horse froom eating another horses tail?

You could try putting some stuff that tastes bad on the horses tail to discourage the other horse from eating the tail or put a plastic muzzle on him, but that would mean stopping him from grazing. EDIT - I agree. Some things I've heard of people using are tartar sauce, soy sauce, or hot sauce. On a scale of best working to least, i'd rate them: 1st: Hot sauce, 2nd: Tartar, 3rd: Soy


Why do horses hold their tails up themselves?

At horse shows (specifically the Arabian Horse Association's rated horse shows) Arabians are expected to have long tails, it's a breed characteristic. A lot of these Arabs have tails that touch the ground, and so the tails are put up so they don't get stepped on, and then break, and to keep them clean.


What is a good amount of sunlight for an Arabian horse?

Depends. Most horses enjoy being outside in a safe paddock, within view of other horses, for the day, and being in at night. Be aware that muddy paddocks cause disease to the horse, and horses should not be turned out in. Arabians need exercise. Talk to a trainer near you, and ask for some lessons. These will help determine the amount of exercise your horse needs. If it is sleeting outside, or hailing, DO NOT put horses out. They can get injured. Rain and snow is okay, and some enjoy being outside, but watch carefully to make sure the ground stays firm and doesn't get slippery. Arabian horses, and all horses, can injure themselves if falling down. All in all, talk to an experienced trainer to determine what is best for your Arabian horse.
