[RC] collected tail swing vs. wringing - Jackie Causgrove

Okay, the mare in the video is collected and her tail is swinging. Tails swing when a horse is collected.
 
Tail wringing is different and it is a sign of resistance; for whatever reason - physical or mental.
 
The mare did not win because they made a fairly good size mistake. 
 
Anky won because she was technically correct throughout her ride. However, her horse was much stiffer and nowhere near as spectacular.

"A ruthlessly condensed training only leads to a general superficiality, to travesties of the movements, and to a premature unsoundness of the horse. Nature cannot be violated."
- ALOIS PODHAJSKY
