Not actually a breed, the term Broomtail is an old term referring to a small, wild horse of poor quality in the American West. In some places it is used specifically for mares, fuzztail being the male term.

Origins<\/h3>\n

While this type describes the inferior quality of an animal, it doesn’t necessarily describe the state of their tail. They could be a scrubby animal with a luxurious tail and still be called Broomtail, as it refers to their overall scruffy appearance and untamed nature.<\/p>\n
