Funnily enough something like that did happen to me earlier this year.
We were going to a local showing thing in the spring and a winter of wearing a neck hood had reduced the bottom half of my boy's mane to a few wisps. There was no way I could take him with only the top of his neck having plaits and he isn't the correct type to hog. So a friends horse has a huge, full tail and she kindly gave me a length cut from the inside of his tail which I used to make 6 beautiful plaits. I then made little balls with the remaining wisps of his mane using rubber bands and stitched the false plaits onto them. He looked fab and I was so proud of myself.
However, when it came to the actual class, it all went pear shaped when we had to do the individual show and gallop. As he stretched in the gallop all 5 of the 6 plaits pinged off as the rubber bands around his poor excuse for a mane gave way and I was left as I saluted the judge with this string of unattached plaits hanging down his neck.
Needless to say we didn't win!

I've had exactly the same thing happen with my horse! Forever has bad sweetitch and lost about a 6" chunk of his mane by the withers. I cut black hair out from my mare's tail as she had a very busy tail, made some beautiful plaits for him and sewed them in to his mane for the AHS Nationals PBA class. Half way round the ring they started pinging off

Talking of the false tails, I was watching a line class (in-hand) here and one horse had a falsie so long it was sweeping the floor, as the horse was backed up he stood on his tail and ripped it clean off its' moorings leaving a decent enough real tail behind, the handler simply swiped it up in mid stride, shoved it down her jacket and carried on as if nothing had happened. Class act.

Somebody had mane extensions done in my area for a show which I believe they did well in. But she had them done by an actual hairdresser! I think they were done as human extensions (ie. stuck in).
