Loop braid

My owner has done another cool braid on a horse.
This one is called the "loop braid", well that is what she calls it, I really don't know what the real name is:). She got the idea from this site.

The steps to make this braid:

1) separate the mane about 1-2 inches apart

2) braid each section

3) bring the first braid up though the top second braid(going though part of it) and then tie it with the braiding band

4) do that to each one and soon you will have "loop braids", my owner didn't know what to do with the last one so she just left it alone:)

You might not understand how I explained it so check out that site I put above. My owner didn't use thread like they did she just came up with her own idea. Check out the movie and maybe you can kind of get the idea!

My owner didn't spearte the mane

before she braided it, but you can

The finished product!!

Once done, saddle up(or bridle up) and show

your horses mane off!!

Lattice Braid

Hey guys,

My owner saw a horse that had a "Lattice braid" a couple years back at a horse show. At that time she didn't know what it was called but thought it looked quite neat!

She saw the same "braid" in a book and then looked it up on the internet where she found a picture and deicded to try to do this lattice braid to her dad's horse, Patches.

It took her about 30 minutes to do, but it looks awesome!! And it was her first try!

It looks a lot better if you use the same color rubber bands for horses, but she didn't want to pick though her bag!! Enjoy the pictures; she tried to take some so you could do it to your horse, or your friends horse!!

The Lattice braid...

You can pick up the edge and the whole thing

comes up like a blanket!!

To make the "Lattice braid" look that up on the Internet, or just scroll down and look at the rest of the pictures!!

First you put your horse's hair in rubber

band (or whatever you use for ending braids)

make them about 1 inch apart, my owner

was going to get a picture of that but she

didn't get the camera before she started!!

Just pertend this is the first row:)

part the hair in half and take a half of the next

one, and so on 'til the end of the row

put the band right where my owners

fingers are

Once you get the hang of it you will get going

really quickly, you can do a couple rows, or all

the way to the end of the hair. It all depends on

what you want!!

Once you're done saddle up and show off

your great work!!
