Many thanks for your comments f.43. They are appreciated and I'll take them into account.
If I can put the last two lines in context:
mares' tails are a type of cloud formation. They are the forerunners of a warm front, and indicate bad weather to come. In that sense, they 'draw' the front, as a team of horses would 'draw' a coach. They are made of fine ice crystals, hence the ice descriptor.
If I've given you the notion that it's about (relatively) simple horse riding, that's given me something else to consider. Others may think the same. I'll need to tighten it up.
Again, thanks for your input. I can work with your comments.
Cheers.
