What word may be used to replace ''scraggly'' without changing the meaning of the paragraph describing the horse?

The word "untidy" can be used to replace "scraggly" without changing the meaning of the paragraph describing the horse.
The word "scraggly" means "untidy and unkempt". The word "untidy" also means "not neat or tidy". Both words describe the horse's tail, which is short and not well-groomed.
The other words "clean", "shiny", and "ugly" do not accurately describe the horse's tail. The horse is not clean, shiny, or ugly.
