Lilly also was a tap dancer in the cross ties, we were also told that she wouldn't allow her tail to be washed. We first tied her to the tree of patience, as soon as she stood for an extended period of time we moved her back to the crossties and just let her stand. She'll now stand calmly for everything including her tail being washed.



KG, I agree that some horses may be beyond this. Hopefully this doesn't include the OP's horse.
