I’ve always noticed that horses don’t seem to enjoy doing flying lead changes.

Really because horses consistently do flying lead changes out in their pens/pastures on free will. My mare will happily do flying lead changes on the diagonal without being asked for them.
Reason for tail movement: When a horse does a flying change it completely adjusts the topline and some horses react along their whole spines and onwards, such as raising their head and neck slightly and lifting or activating the tail, though they usually let their tail hang more loosely once the change is finished.
Reason for mouth being open: Perhaps the rider picked up more contact than she should have, or maybe this was taken when the horse went to chew at the bit like they often do in flying lead changes when bitted.
Bottom line: Horses do flying lead changes in their pastures all the time and some display the same reaction in their tail as this horse did.
As well, some rollkur-ridden horses don’t swish or activate their tail in the flying lead change. Your opinion on this holds no ground.

Fergus loves doing flying changes… Whenever I do one he keeps wanting to do them even though I don’t want or ask him. His ears are always forward before and after the change….
