Not all roping horses have braided tails. There are many events where a rider may braid their horses tail because it helps keep it out of the way.
The tail stick's out about a foot from the horses rump.
Walking horses wear tail braces in the show ring to accentuate their high-stepping gait known as the "Big Lick." The tail brace holds the horse's tail in an unnatural position to enhance the appearance of exaggerated movement, which is desired in the show ring. However, the use of tail braces has sparked controversy and criticism due to concerns about animal welfare and discomfort for the horses.
This is called the mane. The hair that dangles between a horse's ears is called the forelock.

Yes a horse can swat flys with a braided tail. They might get irritated or bruised though if they have a really thick or long tail. After braiding it, put it in a tail bag. If a horse keeps turning his head towards his braided tail, or takes to stomping his hind feet or pinning his ears, you need to unbraid the tail. Do not leave a tail braided for more than a couple days at most. Also, you can use "fly spray" on the horse while it is unable to perform it's natural swatting functions.
