A numpty question, if I may?

What does a green ribbon on a tail mean? Never seen one (yet) but I sometimes hear people talk about them.
So, what does it mean? Yes, I am aware a red one means kicking But I've been wondering about the green one for sometime, too scared about sounding like an idiot to ask! Enlighten me, please? Thank you! xx

I've seen it used in hunting usually means young or inexperienced? Never seen it out of hunting though like at a show or anything!

AFAIK a green ribbon indicates a young or "green" horse

 

[Maisy]

It means your horse is a novice, or a novice in the situation it is in, ie first time hunting you should have a green ribbon, as you dont know if your horse will kick or not....

Ahh, I get it now! Green ribbon for a green horse Thank you!! xx

A Green ribbon in the tail is for a young/green horse, so just a warning in general that it may kick/jump/spook/do something unperdictable.

Yes, green ribbon for a green horse and red ribbon for a kicker.

 

[niagaraduval]

Yep - Means young although I heard a blue one meant young also.. ? I would put a green one in though!

I thought blue was for a stallion.

dales ponies wear ribbons in their tails to show that they are not a fell. the norm is red white and blue but any colours can be used
