I NEED DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO SHOW FRENCH BRAID A HORSES MANE AND TAIL??? help me!?

Question

I need to learn by this saturday on french braiding my horses mane and tail for my show!

Answer 1

There are many different types of braids. I've never heard of a "french braid" for horses. I know what you are talking about for the tail, but I'm unsure about the mane. I'm assuming you want to braid it and then turn that braid into a small bun. Here are some links to different types of braids.

I believe what you are looking for is called a running plait. Good info here:

Go to your local tractor supply and by this book. it is binded at the top with a pinkish red cover with a picture of a horse with a fish net braid in his mane. sorry i don;t know the title but it have really detaialed comments and step by step pictures. it's really simple and helpful. good luck.
