[QUOTE="chippie, post: 977524, member: 5644"] Our mares tails were not docked. My husband farmed with them. He mowed the pastures, cut hay, disked and plowed with them. They were also used to pull a wagon in our county fair parade and the rodeo grand entries. When he trained them, they were ground driven singly and with a stone boat or slide. They soon learned that a line under a tail was not a big thing. After both were driving well by themselves, he hooked them together. They pulled a slide for a long time before they ever pulled anything with wheels. I think that it taught them to pull into the collar and helped when it came time for them to pull the plow. The weight and drag did not scare them. We had a pair of Standard x Percheron mares with long tails also. They never had a problem with a line under the tail. [/QUOTE]
