How to Properly Braid Your Horse's Mane 

Love how she's calmly hanging out with him!

Can we just talk about how clean the stable was... i mean like spotless

can we also talk ab the intro, “hey this is how we braid the mane” lol just thought it was funny

That horse is pretty wild.....best to be careful around a horse like that!😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣

That horse is stunning

I braid my horses main with rubber bands, I only keep it in usually during schooling and showing. I don't keep braids in for more than 2 days because no matter how long you keep the braids in, it'll be gone in the next day or so. I roll the braids up like a dressage kind of bud. Just thought I'd share how I go about things. Great video, Danielle and Alstair.

that horse is so relaxed it looks like she's about to fall asleep.

This is the best. So clear and informative, - you explain the reasons WHY making these common mistakes too are to be avoided. Just brilliant, cant thank you enough for posting . Deb x

Wow. What a chilled pony. 7 to 10 days? I was told not to leave braids in for more than 48 hours because of the hair breakage. But this, this is fantastic. My Arab has long mane and don't want to hog or cut it. She will be getting braids this summer with black electrical tape.

amazing horse 💖💖💖💖💗💗💗💋💋💕💕💞💞💞💞💕💕😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

That mane tho 😍😍😍

how do you get the tape out

How would you remove the tape though?

Can you make a vid on how to get your horses mane thick and long!

do you braid on horses living out ? just thinking about protection needed from the flies if mane is braided ?

Pleeeeezzzz what type of horse is chrome??

Yeah like, how do you guys do that. Thanks for bringing that up Karina :)

Can we just about how that horse is just chilling there not running away.

So how do you get the mane so long??!!!

Y cant i use green tape?

Does the tape get stuck to the hair ever? Like can you ever not get it out?

Why so long though? Can you tell I'm used to working horses and mules with very short to no mane?

Omg I wish my mares were as calm as her :D Btw she's very beautiful

What type of horse is chrome. BTW she is beautiful

9:25 can I have my mane braided to pleases

The horse looks so nice with it hair braided

How do you safely remove the electrical tape? Doing research 🧐 📝

that horse if sooo cute! or pony XD

When you take The tape out it will pull the mane just use thin normal people hair bands and if you leave the braid in so long the under side will start to die come on now people common sense

How do these hold up during turnout?

I don't have a horse but I'm watching this anyway.

Does it need to be black or does a different color matter?

I used to braid my horses hair like this, but after taking them out after a couple days, they were ridiculously curly. How do you keep the horse's hair somewhat straight or wavy?

She's better than I am when I get my hair done.

Why do you have to braid the hair

Why can't u use rubber bands

Mane looks like its from Alicia Online XD

Do you braid the mane and put the electrical tape on when it's hot?

this guy is so cute lol

Horses can't feel anything in their manes though?

My horses mane is way thicker, I wouldn’t b able to get the braid that thin even if I used 3 strands of hair!

The horse is tired of standing not happily hanging out and I didn't much care for the look he gave her. I do approve of the pulling and tugging thought he put into his braiding technique. Makes perfect sense to me that it will tug and pull having worn braids before, they can tug, pull and be quite tight. She doesn't need to lose her hair from rubber bands wearing into the fibers of her hair. I did watch one video of a woman braiding the tail of a horse and it was extremely tight; makes, one wonder what the horse thinks of that. Looks pretty and all but at least this guy gives much thought and care to the over all comfort of the horse. They feel too and it would be kind of hard to wear a saddle and do a canyon hike or something with a extra tight braid on the rump!

so you that with all your horses? just seems excessive

Talks about what breaks the hairs yet he continues to braid the hair... which is the worst to do.. breakage wise and those can still gets caught on stuff

Wow what a docile pony, barely moves!

You can braid tight just not tight up to the skin in the first couple of cross overs I have heard horror stories of people who have braided their horses tail the night before a show only to get up the next day to a horse with a bald tail all because it was too tight the discomfort that horse must have felt before the hair fell out must have been intense I was always taught to minamise the amount of time my horse was braided never more than a day it neede to come out at the end of every show when you got them home at the latest better to take it out when your classes had finished and let the horse really rest comfortably it I know there are people who show in western pleasure who tie their horses head up high in the stall before going into the ring so that the horse will be so tired it will happily drop it’s head long and low like they want them to in western pleasure but toeing their head up is such a cruel way to get this sort of look with your horse and is so wrong if they are ever caught by show officials they can be banned from that show and even disapline by their breed club or associations

who cares about braids...its a fucking horse, let it be natural

This is by far the most boring video I’ve seen. It convinced me not to buy the product.

This kind of stuff is the reason why humans get attacked by animals, constantly bothering with them.
