RE: [RC] [RC] Braiding the mane - Sharon Levasseur

I missed the first part of the conversation but I assume you're discussing
running braids.  I did them for a whole season and while they ARE faster to put
in and take out, they don't stay in.  Not even with my horse's extremely long
and thick mane (down past the top of his leg).  I even used those little girls'
ponytail holders with the little plastic balls down the length of it to try to
keep it from falling out but that only helped a little bit.  I've settled on
about 7-8 long braids... seems to work best.

exactly.....what Jonni said

I did it once and it took a LOT of hair out of my horses mane when he put
his head down to drink and eat. you have to braid loosely but not .. if this
makes sense. ?

When I have watched the Draft horse folks do this sort of braid, they often
sit on the horses back to do so. But, on the distance horses, I would
imagine it would be a braid that might want to pull out when they drop
their heads to eat and drink.
