Ribbons in tails

[zoesophie]

Can anyone tell me what all the different colours mean please? The only one I know is red for a horse that kicks....

Im just curious no other reason..

Green... for a green horse!

Heavy horses and some native breeds have the owners colours in their tails. They don't mean anything!

 

[wizoz]

A green one used to mean young horse, well, at least I think that was it

That's about the only other one i've seen or heard of. Unless it's just for decoration

White i think is a stalion???

Green will indicate a young horse.

 

[polyphonic]

isnt it red blue white for a stallion?

 

[zoesophie]

That makes sense Yorkshirelass now youve said it!

 

[zoesophie]

hhmmm seems to have caused a debate now - any advance on what colour a stallions ribbon is.....

 

[Stacie_and_Jed]

Think its white with a blue and a red stripe. Or white blue and red stipes!!!

I just thought it was white for a stallion, red for a kicker and green for an inexperienced/green horse.

Red = a horse that might kick, green = a young, in experienced horse, blue = a stallion. Different diciplines have different colours for stallions -sometimes it is blue & white ribbons/

Thanks for clearing that up JingleJangle

 

[MagicMelon]

I think there should be a colour meaning the horse is for sale! Then you could ask about it at shows etc. Free advertising!

In the endurance rules, Blue = stallion, Red = Kicks and Green = novice horse

Hunting wise;
Red - Kicks
Green - Young horse or first time hunting
Yellow - Stallion

The white with blue & red stripe is BSJA for stallions who also wear disks on their bridles.
