Her mane is just so thick, and I couldn't justify the amount of pulling that would be needed to make it more manageable. I finally gave up this year and gave her the Trojan horse look, and I don't think I will ever go back to having a long mane on her.

I wonder if the routine of braiding on the morning of (if you do it then) the show also influences thing -- it's a tension adding activity on an already tense day, and if you're anything like me you probably end up kinda in a bit of a rush during braiding anyway. Something to think about for sure!Nicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13834098473974912416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-57266954097784157402016-06-20T14:40:20.936-06:002016-06-20T14:40:20.936-06:00Super interesting!

I always do those braids, because I am far too lazy to do Hunter braids and also because I call them "cobra braids" and I like to say "COBRA" and do a snakey hand motion. They're very haute couture in dressage. The braids, not yelling "COBRA" while doing snake hands.

He always went better when I put in 17-19 braids vs 9-11 (I do them super tight). He probably would have enjoyed the fluffy dutch braids instead of the button braids (he always carried tension, but not as much as Courage). Doing every day work in braids is a good way to let the horse get used to the feeling without the stress of the show.Codex Dressagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04736021620789376995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-90840085338813539142016-06-20T10:10:04.716-06:002016-06-20T10:10:04.716-06:00Courage just wants to rock a very specific 'do...Courage just wants to rock a very specific 'do :Darteriolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14257564748066704707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-34703454563945295892016-06-20T09:23:45.108-06:002016-06-20T09:23:45.108-06:00That's an interesting point, and it does actua...That's an interesting point, and it does actually make a lot of sense.

The looser feel of the braids is definitely something I consider a plus.<br /><br />Pig lets me know when I have a braid that is too tight. He isn't bad about it, but he'll pointedly rub just one and kind of flinch when I mess with it. Funnily enough, he stands like a rock for mane pulling -- even so far as to go to sleep. <br />#pickyassthoroughbredsAustenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13004088333430762406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-61358266101819598132016-06-20T07:43:05.671-06:002016-06-20T07:43:05.671-06:00I would believe that the braids are irritating for...I would believe that the braids are irritating for horses that are sensitive.

He seems to take shows more seriously when I braid - not sure if it's the actual act of being braided that makes him think about things differently, or that I myself take shows more seriously (i.e. rated) and handle him differently.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292565760924146966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-647406862592675556.post-61224428147326366602016-06-20T07:06:58.393-06:002016-06-20T07:06:58.393-06:00Courage wins at having opinions.
