My new mare has a lovely thick tail, but clearly it's been pulled in the past and it's growing out (the bog brush look!). I love full tails, and can't wait til it's all looking fabulous, not to mention I hate pulling tails.
She is the type that could look nice in small hunter classes, and as it's something I've done before, it would be something I'd be happy to aim for again. My yard owner currently shows in hunter classes, and says that the turnout aspect has to be pulled tails - a plaited tail will get you marked down. I don't remember this.... I always plaited my old mare's tail, and although we mainly did working hunter, no one mentioned about tails. Will we be asked to leave for not being 'correct?'
On a slightly side note, does your horse have a full or pulled tail? Any photos?
