He looks lovely. Do you have to plait Andalusians for dressage or are they one of the breeds thats allowed to be left loose, like M&Ms? Plaiting that mane would be a travesty.
You don't have to plait them and if you do want to you do a running plait which takes about 5 mins and you don't pull or trim their manes at all. Dead easy.
Bit light framed for me but at that price OMG so cheep.
