what kind of plait for boxing day hunt!!

[junglediva]

ok, i want to plait my horse for boxing day but the thing is it takes me forever and a day to plait him with those ball plaits.... so i was wondering if anybody had any suggestions for me on what other plait i could give him. i was also wondering would it be stupid to just put the long plaits in him, i mean normal plaits! o would i look like a proper lemon?

 

[mrogers]

long plaits will look rediculous!! stick with normal plaits they always look smarter then anything else,pull the mane and it should make plaiting quicker

lemon!!!

normal "horse plaits"

defo small little ball one, you've said not keen on pulling get a smart tail puller (one for tail) and thin mane and also use solo comb can get a very good pulled mane look with both tools. Without causing said gg to blow a gasket

If not just go with smart pulled mane look with mane falling to right 'off' side

Plaits should be normal size and sewn in - but I am plait obsessive!

 

[junglediva]

That is what the long walk back to the box is for...unpicking plaits!

[FunkyFilly28]

The normal horse plaits (rolled up like a ball) are most traditional and look smartest for hunting. Check out www.horsehero.com for videos on plaiting (they really helped me) if not you could try a runnig plait as it would take you less time.

 

[junglediva]
