I love the metal decos for the braids and how they work with the bridle decos.
I love this look! I’ve never had a horse that a long mane but it almost makes me want to grow Freedom’s so I can try it. How do you think it would look in the hunt field? Probably not such a good idea as I’d imagine the whole braid would start to fly up in the area over fences!
This type of “braiding” is called a lattice, or diamond, braid. This braiding effect is used on horses where the breed standard is a long mane — baroque horses such as Andalusians, Lippizans and Luisitanos, and breeds such as Arabians and Morgans.
I love this braid! I used to do this with Tiny for our barrel classes to keep me from pulling her mane when I grabbed ahold of the reins. It’s so pretty!
These are exquisite. Our Tiny (we have one too Michelle!) has a black mane like the gray horse. Now I want to hit the bead store…
This braid is typical in baroque horses, but isn’t in arabes, because they are few mane, in this photo is portuguese style because the bridle is portuguese.
I do this braid to my horse but
he is a english, spanish and arabian horse, I do this braid for fairs of spain
