Re: [RC] Another fun "braid". - Sharon Levasseur

Yes, that is the same method I used in the parade picture I sent a link to... I
just kept going with it.  I call it a "web" or "net" braid.  I wouldn't want to
do it for rides, it takes me FOREVER.  Maybe you're faster at it than I am
though.

Here's a lattice style braiding that has been shown on the E-friends board.
Several of us are doing this now. It just looks cool and keeps the hair off
the horse's neck. Char Antuzzi did up Gali's mane this way for Tevis:

  It's really pretty easy.

is called 'plaiting" the mane.  Not positive though.  Very pretty!  I like
the triangle shape.  I used to just end each strand with its own rubber band.
 This looks much tidier.

Here's pictures of another fun braid for you.  These are from the first
parade
my horse and I did:

It's not really a BRAID, per se, but it is pretty.  Takes FOR-EV-ER to do.

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.
