Hi! I've recently started competing regularly in dressage comps and obviously want to look our best so have been plaiting my mare's mane.
Trouble is that it always looks rubbish!! I'm having to use bands but I think it looks a little unprofessional (especially when I look around the warm up arena) and would love to know how to plait properly with thread. I've read a couple of things that say I should plait the thread into the mane and others that don't - every time I've tried though, the plait just looks like a bunched up bit of mane!
Her mane is nicely pulled, I always use water and gel, tight plaits etc but although they now look even (a lot of fiddling!), they never all lie properly.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!!
