Spray with Quick Braid, comb through, then section off the mane, taking care to ensure a straight, even part.
Think Marcia Brady.
Thank you Robby! What a great demonstration, and Rhodey is a very handsome model. This should go in the archives.
My question, how long did it take you to do Rhodey’s braids…in total? Thanks…this was really helpful!
I am going to use your braiding instructions here to braid my horse (my first time). My braider can’t do it this week at the show, so I am left to my own devices! These instructions could not have come at a better time.
why don’t you start a pulled tail thread?

You may be only one person in the world, but you may also be the world to one person.
All I could think of when I saw the second photo was “Basic Instinct.”
Well, Robby, what DID you expect from me? 
P.S. Good thread and nice pictures. Thanks!
Braid down. How you braid is important. In these photos I’ve not used the “leveraged thumb” method, as with rounder braids, I find they’re not quite as “round” when I sew them up. This is the standard twist your wrists method of braiding. Just make sure when you get to the bottom you hold it tight.
Thank you Robby.
I shall definately direct one and all to this thread.

Wouldn’t you say, Dezi?

Funny this should come up, as I was just browsing a British horse manual (copyright 1984). It said when preparing a horse for show, always use an odd number of braids, plus one for the forelock. I was suprised to read that, 'cause I had no idea it mattered…
Also, I have a friend who always does 13 braids on her mare…she likes to “head off back luck at the pass.”
