Hey guys

I gotta bring in a new point here with the talk of tailing up hills. We
actually had a horse with a tail "out" -- you know, like POP, your back just
went "out". I described tailing a horse up a hill to the chiropractor and
asked his opinion of doing this -- he said he'd NEVER advise it. FWIW.

A suggested alternative is to hook a "tail line" into the crupper d ring, I
wouldn't suggest hooking into the front part of the saddle because that
might pull it off to one side and cause the bar of the saddle to dig in.
