    I've never had to braid a mane before (I've always ridden Western, now I'm training an English horse. Total culture shock!) and this helped bunches. thanks! :)

    Ive always wondered how they get the little "spikes" in the horses mane (that's what I used to call them since I didn't know what they were). now I know how! :D thx for the awesome tutorial !!

      something you can do to cut down on the chance of pricking yourself or your horse is use a darning needle. they are much duller and thicker so they are gentler

    If you are concerned about using a regular needle, the big plastic yarn needles available at most craft stores work just as well and will not stab the horse, or yourself. I braid with the plastic needles and thin yarn. One other tip, braid the yarn into the mane from the beginning, as you braid down the section, braid in a length of the yarn, leaving a tail of about six inches at the top. It makes it a little easier to tie off the braid at the top because you'll have two sections to tie of with.
    The yarn will also help a thinner mane look fuller, and can be easier to deal with than thread.
    One other thing, if the mane is LONG, and you are unable to pull it for whatever reason (I deal with driving horses and some breeds are not pulled), the tail of the braid can be pulled up through the top of the braid next to the neck, sometimes even a couple of times, to create a roll where the bobble is. You'll have to do smaller sections, but it makes braiding a long mane possible and looks so much better than leaving big loops under the bobbles. :)
    Otherwise, great video, very clear and easy to follow. :)

  • @animecrazzy24
    @animecrazzy24 12 років тому

    I tried needle and thread for the first time yesterday but i used a plastic needle because thats the only big needle i could find....I wouldnt suggest it for horses that spazz out about braiding though. I'm so lucky that my pony is an angel!!

  • @TaylaYEquestrian
    @TaylaYEquestrian 6 років тому +1

    I managed to do this without the needle by a band fastening and threading the twisted bottom half of the plait through, came out fairly neat but her mane isn’t pulled and is quite long/thick but still resembles the above, lol!

  • @TheEffectofMaverick
    @TheEffectofMaverick 7 років тому +2

    How does this affect the horse? Do horses prefer their mane untouched or braided? Isn't there a physiological purpose to the make hairs being individual???? Explain

    I leave my horses mane it plaits for a couple days at a time as it helps to weigh down her mane and stop her looking like such a zebra, is it only when the plaits are rolled up that you can't leave them in?

    @dianna sordo For western, you band, which is just seperating the mane into sections, like what you do before you braid.

  • @aidensquifflets
    @aidensquifflets 12 років тому

    She didn't plait on the wrong side of the neck, she plaitted on the other side to what you're used to. Not all areas have to plait on the right hand side of the neck, some do it on the left, and others do it depending on which ever way the horses mane grows.

  • @horsestar45
    @horsestar45 12 років тому

    It means that you have an odd number in the mane, and then when you include the forelock you get an even number. example: 7 braids in the mane, but 8 braids including the forelock. An uneven number of total braids is sometimes considered unlucky.

  • @cassieiscool1998
    @cassieiscool1998 12 років тому

    It means you have a odd number in the mane then 1 plait in the forelock to make it even say if u had 19 plaits in the mane the forelock would make 20.

      The horse might get irritated it it is tight when they are resting in their stall, the horse might also rub the plaits out or get them knotted.

    a short and thin mane, you should pull your horses mane when it gets too long and not cut it as it gives a better finish and it thins it out too, i could explain pulling manes but watching a video would show you better than i can explain
