Best Answer

Tail blocking is done to deaden the horses ability to move their tails in the show ring. When a horse swishes it's tail vigorously in the ring it is usually a sign of displeasure which will cause most competitors to lose points and thus lose the show. The main cause of tail swishing is bad training and riding on the owners part and they use illegal tail blocking as a way to hide their flaws. It is a cruel practice and is illegal, but not always enforced.
