Looks to me like, if thats baling string, then it's been twisted into a rope. Then ropes braided into the main part of the tail. Then the main part of the tail more than likely, simply goes through a hole in the plastic, and I'm guessing either tied in a knot on the inside or otherwise fastened so it don't pull out.
My advise would be, dis-assemble the mannequin , remove the tail. Make a new tail, install it, and reassemble the mannequin. New tail could be made out of a material of your choice. Wouldn't have to be baling twine, would it??? And that tail in the pics looks pretty extravagant for most real horses. I wouldn't expect to see that bulky of a tail with that much tail hair on an average horse. Maybe on a show horse, of a breed that has exceptional long main and tail hair.
On another thought, just cut off the tail. Shouldn't enable the mannequin from being used in a rescue training exersize.
Might try some WD 40 on a test strand and see what happens. I can't really see that WD 40 or other such mild chemicals would cause baling twine to melt and desentigrad. Maybe gasoline or rubbing alcohol would.
Are these mannequins used for something else when not in use for rescue training?? The importance of a burr-less tail would make more sense in a tail petting child's play type setting. Or a display type situation.
