How do you braid a Percheron's Mane and Tail

HorseRancher18 · 08-16-2008, 10:49 PM

Hi, I have two Percheron geldings and we are going to our first show. I have no idea how to do their manes and tails. Is there a thread on here about that? If there is not could you post some Info and maybe some photos?

Thanks, you guys.

What are you showing them in??? I have no idea about that breed, I don't know how they do things at all.

But if you are going to a hunter/jumper type show than do hunter braids...

That's all I can help... sorry =(..

Sorry, hopefully someone who knows more will be along soon...

what kind of show is it?

I sure hope this helps you....it takes a few times to really get the tighteness down but it should help.

Okay...Seerfarm...

I vote for you to make an educational video about braiding.

I looked at the one you posted and I couldn't see it very well.

I really wish you would do a step by step for us.

Would love too, but small problem.

My camera/recorder was stolen when I went on vacation to Texas last month...so I have no way at the current moment to make one.

Let me see if I can find a better one to view for you guys.

I am trying to feed the picture hounds here!
