Has anyone used these???

[ForeverBroke_]

I hate, hate hate plaiting. Hate it. It should cease to exsist!!

Anywho, my friend on the yard is going to end up with Carpal Tunnel if I keep asking her to plait m'ned for me aswell as her own . Its not that I dont know how to do it, but I cannot for the life of me get it tight enough. And I keep trying!

Anywho, has anyone used these?

Opinions would be great

Had thought about the BabyLiss Crazy Braid - But apparently that'll be a no

Babyliss, may be a little flimsy for the horse world!!!

 

[SonnysHumanSlave]

Im rubbish at plaiting too!! i want!!

Where do i getone??

I've seen them at most tack shops - just not sure whether they look that naff or not

 

[Slinkyunicorn]

A girl at my yard did - I think she decided the best way to use them was to plait first and then 'roll' them up as it looked better. Still involved plaiting......

I used to use something very similar (but bigger) to get my hair into a bun for work and showing. I loved it and it made a very neat bun - just wish I could find one now as mine broke.

I hate plaiting too - that's why I have a native pony and a hogged cob!

Seen demos at the licolnshire show, looks ok, but I ,personally., do not think they have quite the same look as hand done.

Would be good for local fun shows and hunting, but to me, just do not look quite the same

Great for my hair I use them a lot, I am too much of a traditionalist for anything but proper plaits for horses - with thread. I am a very sad person and actually LOVE plaiting.

If I was judging in any class where turnout was taken into consideration and saw those I'd mark them down.

Suck it and see though, you can but try, and if it works for what you want then that's brilliant.

The trouble I have is getting the plaits tight enough - is it easier with these?? I'd love doing it if i could get the flipping things tight enough

 

[Charlie007]

Yes have used them. Can plait a mane in less than 10 mins, not they look as good as the real thing tho, but very easy to use

Hm, may have to give it a go, have nothing to lose I suppose!

Lol, had realised as I clicked post

Was just about to suggest Easi Plait before I read down to see you had typed it.

They are brilliant, obviously not the real thing but I have a bay and the black velvet looks great on him, job done in ten mins!

I used to be good at plaiting, but my fingers have started to get stiff and seize up in cold weather

Might have to start taking some of the horse's joint sup myself!

 

[jnb]

See - I love plaiting and am quite good at it, but have a hogged cob!
Not helping (I know) but!

 

[L&M]

Just hogged mine - looks super smart so no more plaiting for me (plus an extra 1/2 hr in bed on hunting mornings!!)
