I am beginning to think that it is pointless giving sensible advice on
this group.I gave some quite sensible advice a few postings ago,and
the majority of the replies were quite frivolous and pointless.

Quite right! I don't know too much about horse tail except to keep
clear of the hindquarters of a horse with a red ribbon tied round its
tail.
In gymkhana tradition it means that it is a "kicker".

To be more serious, as a child I used to disassemble horse tail weed,
and was always frustrated that I could never re-assemble it
satisfactorily.
Has anyone found the secret?

Well, - it's been a slow day for me...
