Can you dye a horses tail?

I have a palomino that has white tail at the top and black in middle and then goes white again at the end. was wondering how to dye the tail if possible

I first wrote:

I don't see why you couldn't, but I think you would have to have a very patient horse and be very careful not to get any of the chemicals in her eyes or mouth or other mucous membranes. It seems like it would be pretty tricky. Not only that, but you would have to understand a bit about hair coloring to know how to match the colors and not still have a ring in the middle of the tail when you are done.

I've always loved palominos. (Mine is a beautiful bay TW) I know it isn't the look you want, but I think her tail sounds very pretty.

Then I found these links about dyeing a horse's mane and tail:
