Facts About Horse-Show Braiding
Braiding can keep a horse’s mane neat and make the shape of its neck easier for judges to see. Styles vary among riding traditions and competition classes: some use many small braids, while others favor a continuous braid. The horse must be handled patiently so that grooming remains calm and comfortable.
