I always thought the object in eventing braids was to do as few as possible. I could do my short-necked draftx in like 10, lol. He was gorgeous, so it looked good.
I think my TB got 6 or 7 dressage button braids last time lol! AND with elastics! Didnāt even do the forelock since he needs a fly bonnet (chestnut lol).
(Coming from a converted hunter who used to do pretty hunter braids with yarn even for schooling shows

Yeah, itās called a roach. 
I enjoy sleeping & riding. I do not enjoy horse-barbie hair & happily the rules do not require it at any level. Judges have always been happy with my tidy mohawks & no one else really cares what your horseās neck hair looks like.
Have a great clinic!

And Iām one of the many eventers who might not notice that your horse was roached, not braided. :lol:
And as you say, wouldnāt care if I did. :winkgrin:
