RE: [RC] Braiding the mane - Jean

It's a French braid done with a length of fabric. I do it to my draft. You
need a long piece of fabric, folded in half it needs to be longer than their
neck. Start at the poll,at the center of the length of fabric  either tie or
use an elastic to attach it to the mane. Then start to braid using the mane
as one section and the fabric as the other two gathering up more bits of
mane as you progress(just like a human French braid) then use an elastic at
the end. It takes practice and I can honestly say that mine never looked
that spiffy but it really isn't hard.

Does  anybody know how to do what is shown in this picture to a horse's
mane?  It looks like it would work really well for keeping it out of the
way on a ride.
