There are several reasons a horse has a tail. In the wild, horses don't have owners to apply fly spray when the flies bite. The tail makes a great fly swatter. Horses have a good system where they will stand head to tail, (going in opposite directions from each other) and swat the flies off the face of the other. Tails are also used for balance, and as a way to tell the world how he is feeling at any given time. Relaxed tail says the horse is feeling pretty good. A tail that is clamped down or swishing rapidly could mean he is frightened or annoyed. One last word about tails, when brushing the tail its always a good idea to stand at the side by the horse's hip instead of directly behind him. If he kicks you'll be out of harm's way.
