Greetings Uwe,
Have you noticed the helm just in front of Darius's outstretched hand, you can only see it clearly in the painting.....!!!

I agree with Arthes that the so called tail does not belong to Alexander but must be from a (Macedonian?) horse behind him. There are examples of completer heads of horses on the mosaic, look at the two horse heads immediately above the left arm of the poor Persian that is perforated by Alexander:

The enemy is less likely to get wind of an advance of cavalry, if the orders for march were passed from mouth to mouth rather than announced by voice of herald, or public notice. Xenophon
