RE: [RC] Braiding the mane - Jo Ann Knight


That was the thing that struck me, how beatiful and how many likely is it
that a horse would get hung up on something or in his own mane with his
foot!

I'd love to be able to do the braid for the heck of it but I would not want
to leave the horse braided up unattended

I think this lattice is also called a Russian mat. I must caution that a
horse at a show a couple years ago was shown in a Russian mat and they left
it in when they stalled the horse. He went to scratch his neck with a hind
foot, it got caught in the mane, and down he went. I think he was OK but am
pretty sure they had to cut a lot of the mane off to free him. 

There is a lot more surface area to get entangled in a foot/shoe with the
lattice than straight braids.

The picture, while beautiful(!!), is unrealistic for endurance.
