I have a question about Western Pleasure. How do they keep the tail down like that? My riding instructor said that they cut the nerves in the tail. that sounds horrible!

That is correct. At least, they used to do that. A ruling was made to stop the practice. Also, bleeding and starving to make them go so slow. Terrible what people will do, for a ribbon.
