Question

What is the signifiance of different coloured ribbons in horses tails?

Answer 1

This is the general rule for trail rides:

For safety reasons, we strongly recommend a red ribbon in the tail of horses that kick, a green ribbon in the tail of a green horse or rider and a yellow ribbon in the tail of a stallion.

Answer 2

red ribbon- means that the horse will kick or strikee out. this is important because it lets you know not to get to close, or you may get kicked.

green ribbon- means the horse is green. this is important because a green horse is not always the best behaved, so it lets you know just to be aware around the horse.

yellow ribbon- means the horse is a stallion. important cause stallions are very protective and powerful. if another horse goes near a mare he likes, he could try to protect the mare or win her over.  

Answer 3

If you are on a trail ride and there's red ribbons in a horse's tail, that means that that horse is prone to kicking at any horse that gets too close to it.
