Key Takeaways

- Pulling on the tail can harm horses with back tightness, triggering a defensive response

- Instead of pulling, support the tail forward to relax the muscles

- Focus on building trust and offering new options to the horse

- Prioritize somatic education and integrated movement over structural manipulation

- Consider the "Move with Your Horse" program for detailed tail support guidance

- Practice safety precautions for you and your horse

- Be mindful, and prioritize the horse's comfort and well-being

- Tail traction exercises, or tail stretches, *may* benefit horses when done with the proper preparation so that the horse cab experience a safe, balanced and coordinated lengthening through the spine
