Which minimum offense would be applied for any item or appliance that restricts circulation of a horse's tail?

Explanation:
When a device or item is used to restrict circulation of a horse’s tail, it’s treated as a prohibited, severe equipment violation. Such interference directly affects the horse’s movement and welfare, and the rulebook requires the highest level of sanction for that kind of infraction: disqualification. Level penalties are for lesser violations, whereas tail-restriction equipment falls under disqualification. So the minimum offense for this situation is disqualification.
