Two equine breed registries have taken a firm stance against the
practice of “doing a horse’s tail,” and this could be the catalyst for legislation
prohibiting the practice. Tail injection has been particularly
troublesome in the Quarter Horse and Paint Horse breeds.
TheAmerican Quarter Horse Association (AQHA) has banned horses with
altered tails, including tail injections, from the show ring.

Similarly,the American Paint Horse Association (APHA) bans surgical tail procedures,
as well as any injections that would alter the natural carriage of the horse.
Although the AQHA and APHA have denounced thesepractices, enforcement of the ban has been less than successful.
Lack of enforcement may be due in part to the fear of civil liability that
could result from false accusations of animal cruelty.

Einsteins Revolution heeft namelijk ook bij de AQHA gestart en is ook geshowed op de AQHA World Championship Show in 2006. Gezien de regels die Wranglerbutt hierboven heeft aangehaald, is het dus niet mogelijk dat dat bij dit paard het geval is, want dan had hij daar niet mogen starten....

A tail block can normally last anywhere from 3 to 5 months, be permanent or even ultimately kill the horse via secondary infection. Rubbing the tail IS a sign of blocking, but could also have some other causes. If tickling or massaging the area directly beneath your horse's dock doesn't cause it to lift or corkscrew, I'd suspect a block has been done. A vet or massage therapist can also feel for scar tissue at the dock, which is a pretty reliable sign of repeated blocking. If the block is TOTAL, the horse cannot swish the tail from side to side either. Such a dramatic block is usually apparent by manure and urine in the horse's tail. In that case, they pretty much have to spend the duration of the block (or the rest of their lives) stuffed into a tail bag. ~FH

Op de Worldshow hebben ze ook tail-controle voordat ze de ring in gaan.

Daar willen ze namelijk geen beweging zien. Bij de Reining is beweging juist van belang omdat het de snelheid accentueerd.
