Can a horse swat flies with a tail that is braided?

Yes a horse can swat flys with a braided tail. They might get irritated or bruised though if they have a really thick or long tail. After braiding it, put it in a tail bag. If a horse keeps turning his head towards his braided tail, or takes to stomping his hind feet or pinning his ears, you need to unbraid the tail. Do not leave a tail braided for more than a couple days at most. Also, you can use "fly spray" on the horse while it is unable to perform it's natural swatting functions.
