How many plaits

[RedRed]

How many plaits do you do in your horses mane and is it an odd or even number??!

odd number down the neck, even with the forelock

depends on the occasion, lots of small plaits are fine for dressage/showjumping but not right for showing.

about 7 golf ball sized ones down his neck. I am rubbish at plaiting, but do try and make some effort

When I did plait my TB she had 9 or 11 depending on her mane/neck at the time when showing

For SJ and dressage a lot of people have many tiny plaits.

Again for showing, should be an odd number.

I always have 13 down the neck. Bad number i know for some people.

H plaits perfectly on 13 :-( But if my friend is around when I'm plaitting she won't let me do it and makes me have more!!!

I've plaited two today.

One is a 16.2h ish hunter type. She has seven. Other is a 15.2h Small hunter/small RH (can't deiced yet - he is only 6) and he has seven too.

My SHP mare has seven as well. Most things suit seven to nine.

depends how long i have, how long and thick the horse's mane is, shape of neck, etc. Katy had 21 yesterday and looked better than the usual 15 ish.

usually well into the 20's for me. i like lots of small ones tho, think it looks smart for dr and eventing!
