Thanks so much for that story. I never realized there was sooo much work involved doing all that braiding. She does a marvelous job. That is one HARD woking lady. Many, many hours go into that process.
Yes she sure is hard working!
hi jim and brenda. thank you so much for taking me on this trip with you both. this is the first time ever saw braiding done . jim and brenda this was very interesting thanks again. thanks to Erica to. hi to the ladies...jim dartmouth nova scotia canada.
Hi Jim, glad you enjoyed it!
WOW 🤩 That was incredible! I’ve braided my horses manes and tails before but never on that level. She is definitely an artist 👩🎨
Yes, she really is!
I was about to write fascinating and Brenda took the words right out of my mouth and said, "that is fascinating." I love the idea of the hands on training networking project.
I learned braiding manes as a kid, and people have NO idea how much of a real craft it is!!! We did parade horses and show horses( drafts) and we loved it! Great way to get “ horse money” to buy stuff for our own horses! My horse was a perch/ quarter mix… the best mare ever! Love your videos! Always stream them. Love the relationship you and your family have with your own horses! Thank you for sharing with us♥️🙋♀️☮️🕉🙏🏻‼️
WOW! She is brilliant...made it all look so easy! What a talented lady.
I have a long time friend who lives in Florida who's been a braider for a long time. She travels all over the south for paint and quarter horse shows amongst other things. We met randomly on a plane while I was on a flight to a conference to present during my training as an equine veterinarian. Interesting to see someone else in that small community.
I've always wondered how it was done, yet never did look up videos on it. Thanks so much Jim, Brenda, and Erica for sharing and explaining (and asking the questions we want to know)!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you Jim for this video. I always watch your videos with my mother who used to show and jump. She said with a tear that it brought back good memories. She also loves her shirts that I’ve gotten from you and Brenda. Thank you so much for all your videos and your wonderful family.

Erica is amazing. She's involved in so many productive and charitable ways. What a great guest to have on the channel! Thank you.
Great video there Jim Brenda, that was good to see how Erica gets the horses ready for there show she shore got the touch , never seen it done before , lots off years doing it , good to here she's doing alot off other things helping other people out in her charity work , Erica gets around looking after people's places , ok have a good day to you all God bless
Now this is professional mane plaiting. It’s great that the lady has moisturised the mane before plaiting for a glossy glam showtime finish ✨👌🏽
Good evening Jim and Brenda 😊 did not want to blow my own trumpet but this is what l did and still do if my back allows it,but not on such a big scale.lt was something l always wanted to do from a young age.l started practicing on my toy horses even dolls hair 😀 But yes l would get horses ready for the show ring for client's and it was hard work but l loved every bit of it,and some pocket money.Thankyou so very much for this video very very interesting,this lady is top of her game....excellent.All the very best dear friends 🌱🌱🌱💕
Good evening. Yes, it is quite a skill!
Yep WOW. She was a lovely lady too.Thanks for sharing your wisdom Erica. I hope you find that slab of land you need so you and your team can be together again. Thank you Jim and Brenda for settinng this up with Erica to show another side of everything horse.
That was so cool to watch. What alot of work. I have never seen that done before and I really enjoyed watching. Thank You for taking us along.
Thanks for watching!
Wow Brenda and Jim. I love you taking us on your travels. Erica is an amazing person, what a life she leads. Just a brilliant video xxxxxx
Kudos to Erica! What a hardworking person she is - such beautiful work, and obviously a multi-talented person. I have a lot of admiration for her. Thanks for her guest appearance.
Thanks Jim and Brenda for a great video. Special thanks Erica you are amazing. Very interesting informative and entertaining video. What a strong amazing woman.
This is my world, the riding horses, the performance horses. This said, I can’t braid. I’m the person that pays people like Erica!
What a treat! Thanks so much for shareing this, we dont traditionally braid like this in the southern hemisphere!
Excellent.
Thank you Erica, Jim & Brenda.
Dream so calm while being 'dolled up'.
I think we got a hint of a future video.....walking plows in action maybe?
Yes, very calm…stay tuned!!
Hard working lady. Thanks for showing us .
Nice video Jim and Brenda! Great job Erica! Y'all all have a great day and be safe!
You too!
Great surprise viewing different horses. So much knowledge from Erica. Thank you to you, Brenda and Erica. Interesting to know about draft animals up and down East Coast. Thanks again.🐴🐴
Wow! Very interesting. She does fast, beautiful work.
Enjoy watching your videos and sharing the video working with the horses with braiding

She does an awesome job braiding. Beautiful work. Thank you for sharing.

Thanks for watching!
Oh my ...memories, memories, thoroughly enjoyed this one, I was back in the equine world again, briefly, a rare tonic for me.
Thanks Jim and Brenda, there are so many facets to keeping/working with horses ...wonderful creatures that they are..
Glad you enjoyed it
That was so interesting. Thanks for letting us watch!!
Always enjoy your videos. It's been quite a while since I enjoyed jumping competition. This behind the scenes is phenomenal. Totally enjoyed!
Lot of work goes into braiding their hair, I never really thought about it. Beautiful
My husband and I loved this! Just incredible to see!
That was very interesting and different. Thank you for sharing that. Awesome 👍
Hi Jim & Brenda - Boy, did this video ever bring back memories of my teenage years and braiding horses for the show ring!! I could even "smell the wonderful horse odors which is like Perfume to my nose"! Erica is a very interesting gal with all kinds of interesting stories. Thanks for sharing. God bless.....
You do know that we will be expecting Jim to braiding all your horses now lol take notes Jim and pay attention as to how to do it 😀🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎🐎😀 best wishes from the North Norfolk coast UK
Lol, don't think that is going to happen😀
Erica is an interesting and talented person. Dream is even prettier with hair done up. I agree with you Jim, my hands are aching just watching her work. 👍👍😁
THANKS FOR SHARING
thanks for watching
Thank you for posting the braiding video it was very interesting.
Very interesting today braiding horse hair , also myself braids hair that is human hair because I am a hairstylist and my name is also Erika!🙋♀️👍
Haha, maybe something in the name 😀
That's a lot of work right there 💯 great video thanks!✌️🌞
Thanks for watching
As always jim a great video !!!!
thanks
Very impressive video. Nice to see another facet to horses and what we do with them.
I LOVED this!
Hello Kristin 👋 how are you doing hope you're doing good with your family may God bless you more
Really loved this a great look into another aspect of the horse industry
I know that area! Daughter lives over in Greenwich, we also go to the Washington County Fair! Very interesting! Brenda, I think Jim's horses would look great that way, especially the colts!! When I was a kid we had a guy that shod horses, but horses were going out as tractors were replacing them- he went to the race tracks and shod race horses until he got to old to do it!
I always wondered how they did the braids! Now I know!! Very interesting Jim.
That was so interesting. She is one talented lady. Thanks for the video.
This was so different and interesting!! Thank you for sharing with us!!
This was a little like watching Dirty Jobs except her job isn't exactly dirty, and Mike Rowe didn't make a cameo to try his hand at braiding 🤣 I enjoyed this video as always 💕🐎
Hey are you reading my mind or what? (jk, jk) ...was just trying to remember how to braid tails the other day...have been dreaming about owning a Vanner one day, and thought....wow, all that tail, I'd have to keep it braided! And here it is, the video--thanks y'all! :) It's so nice to see a thing done so well; those are some of the most precise, neat braids I've ever seen.
Haha, must be! Glad it was helpful. Yes, she does a great job
Hi Julia 👋 hope you're doing great with your family may God bless you more
Not having much to do with horses, this was completely new to me. I've never seen these groomers work on horses manes and tails. This lady did a remarkable job on this horse 🐴
P.S. I'm sure that braiding isn't cheap, either !!
Nice video Jim. I'm not partial to braiding but do appreciate the talent and work involved in doing it. A horse with a roached mane is certainly easier to care for but my horses always lived outside for 7 months of the year and I wanted them to have manes to help them shake off the insects. Always kept them combed and trimmed and the pastures free of "burdocks"! When I was shoeing I was the "show" farrier at some shows in VT. and NH. and enjoyed working especially with the 4H show in Woodstock for several years and Orange County is where most of my clients lived so I know Tunbridge well! ....In this video Erica said she has never been kicked and I can say the same about my horse shoeing although a Morgan mare, while I was working on a rear hoof, pulled me back and threw me across the barn, no harm done! Also have been bit on the butt a few times while working on front hooves, but it comes with the territory! Not all animals have been properly trained about having their legs and hooves handled, unfortunately, and I should add that it is NOT the farrier's job to do this. Looking forward to seeing you handle those new plows!
Sounds as if you have had lots of time with horses! Thanks for sharing
What an exciting life! Love her!
Very interesting and enjoyable! Thanks for sharing with us!
Most interesting and informative..! Thank you for caring by sharing..!
It was very interesting
That was really interesting, I couldn't do her job my hands hurt too much now. 😀😀🙄
Good Evening from Limpopo South Africa.
Good evening!
What an uber interesting story Erica has to tell and who wouldn't want a horse as nice as Dream, wow! A fun video, thank you.
Loved hearing the things she was talking about but would have loved more to have watched her braid while she was talking
I really enjoyed learning about the braiding! Thx!
Got to see a lot of Braiding when I was a Hay dealer, delivering to all the big stabels down state in lower NY. Ct area. Jumpers. Polo, racers, a great variety of horses and breeds. got to see the Budweiser team at Ox Ridge Hunt club. and the Lipizzan's at Shannen stable years ago. ECF.
Wow thank you so much for this video. I am interested in an internship, what an honor it would be. I will definitely be reaching out. This video is very encouraging. Again thank you so much.
love your videos of your horses and thought this was absolutely fascinating.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Really interesting video, very different from the usual day to day farm work, thank you for sharing your day out with us. Erica is very skilled, Dream looked super when she had finished. I had a slight tear in my eye when you mentioned reaching the colts manes!😂🤣🇬🇧
At first I was like aw geez I'm going to skip this but then thought "why would they show braiding?" But glad I hung in....... Quite a story. Hope others hang in too. Interesting. Thank you for this different offset then your norm. It's a change but definitely shows other horse ways. I just grew up basically horses were for work or pets not really anything else. My mom would braid her own hair but that's my knowledge extent in fancy hair.
Thanks for sharing, it's interesting what you thought about the title, glad you decided to watch.
Hello thanks your video. Have a great day.
Never thought of it but some one puts those braids in the horse. That's neat
now that was nice to see. she works odd hours but does nice work. Thanks for showing that
Thanks Jim and Brenda. I used to do tails, but false ones were not permitted in my day, just the French braid at the top. The manes on ours were roached. Fascinating. Greetings from Australia.
Thanks for sharing
Great video, great guest!
Very interesting. It looks as if I shook hands with her she would crush mine. Careful, Jim!
It took me 3 or 4 sessions to watch the entire video, but was fascinating. I really enjoyed hanging out with all of you via this video. I would be curious how much she gets paid. That's hard work for sure.
Great video you was a half hour from me when you was in Saratoga.
I built a 1,623 sq. ft. Villa in Venice Florida during the lock-down when prices were depressed and labor was easy to get cheap.
Love this show fun to watch
Nice video. Would have like to seen more of the braiding.
awesome!
Very Interesting - Thank you so much for filming it.
Thank you Erica that was interesting I actually often wonder who braids Those horses I always knew it must of took countless hours of work to do all those braids .this was nice behind the seens action .
Loved the braiding. Wish i knew how she braided so that she could pull the mane into a loop. Maybe you could fo another more in depth one.👍
“Ground driving the 2 year old already” ♥️
Yes, that is great!
Wow! I’ve never seen it done with wool before. I live in Western Australia and have seen them done with specialist elastic bands or sewing, but never with wool.
So cool, but I had no idea horses wore weaves 😂
Interesting video Jim, now Im anxious to see you use those plows.
I do my Morgans’ manes in the spring to keep them cool during the summer
Great view never seen this before
Yes, we had never seen it before either
Almost through this video...... Just interesting still how braiding can be a job outside the human hair world. Just neat to watch and learn. I'm not sure I'd want my draft braided but this is neat
Good stuff!
Very facinating. I wanted to peek in all the stalls. Erica has an interesting life and does such nice work! Fake tails, who knew? Hope she doesn't get repeptive motion injuries. I ruined my rhomboids and damaged the nerves, on both sides from repetitive motion. Hope she knows that hot yoga is the only. way to reverse the muscle memory. PT is useless and the drugs make you sick. Can't imagine the manure pile for the day with that many horses.
Yes, she does have an interesting life!
That was pretty amazing. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Thanks, you too
