How to braid the long mane - tutorial braiding/plaiting video

In this video we show you how to braid the long mane and the forelock. A simple and easy way to make that long mane look absolutely stunning!
Have fun practicing!

[@amberarras2056]

Omg your horse stands decently still when you do this! Mine won’t stop looking around and I’m stuck struggling to keep her from pulling the mane out of my hands 😂

[@that.-.horserider7299]

Somebody's holding the horse Still!

[@perfectchaos5721]

Antonia Praefectus omg I’m dying 🤣😅🤣😂👌

[@perfectchaos5721]

Amber Arras when I have to do manes alone and I usually do, I use a hay bag or net to keep them Moderately still and at my level, Could try that if you haven’t found something as of yet, cheers

[@perfectchaos5721]

PONY CAM if she braid daily I’d imagine it’s routine and cross ties do help a lot if you have them, I just stuff a hay bag/net In front of mine 😝

[@l3505]

My loan pony won’t stand still for that long unless he’s got a hay net and you can imagine how that goes, his whole neck shakes 💀😂

[@bryanapaige]

i don’t even have a horse. i have a chihuahua. why am i here.

[@vickym1609]

Bry Schubert same🤣🤣🤣

[@raynmaker]

[@roseabner1009]

Yah same. I have a cat and if I try to braid her hair then I'm going to get scars from her claws

[@Duck-nb4ci]

lol

[@abigailwilkinson1398]

I have a cat lol

[@lexilopez4240]

“Under braid” it’s just a Dutch braid on a horse. Sooo beautiful!!

[@robink9577]

The irony of it all is that she sounds like she's dutch

[@maz7624]

that comment went from salty to sweet

[@v9311]

That’s the best mane and tail I’ve literally ever seen, so thick and full.😭❤️

[@riderhd02]

What an awesome patient horse! I think he enjoys your touch.

[@zacalisco714]

Last time I did braids on my horse they looked like 5 yr old did it lol

[@that.one.horse.g0rl386]

Story of my life right here

[@gracetheequestrian3816]

same!! i cant do anything but a regular braid on my mare to save my life and i cant braid my own hair at all oof

[@goldenyearsacres9163]

@Maira M You are not alone. I tried my best & it still looked ridiculous.

[@equinelifelk4526]

I love this braid I try to you a different braid every time I go to a horse show the judges loved this one I got first place in grooming and conditioning

[@Duck-nb4ci]

good job!

[@madisonsapp2011]

Thats so cool. congrats!

[@nekotarro3646]

Very pretty braids! The Lusitano is definitely my dream horse. Very beautiful and good work

[@emilycapon]

i'm soo going to try this on my haffie! i usually do normal plats just to keep his mane tidy but this is gorgeous!

[@julieenslow5915]

Stunning horse and so quiet and patient! I see why you chose him for this tutorial! Great tutorial too. Thanks!

[@blossombirts5382]

You did a good job and most people should be able to do this because this is originally called the under hand braid

[@catiagui6836]

that mane looks so smooth and shiny!!

[@sigridvanosch1990]

Beautiful and very clear. The horse has these funny black tips on it's ears

[@stefanietravers1239]

Video on Braid on both sides of neck and tail braid please! Very helpful tutorial so nice to have the other two instructional. Thanks so much!

[@SephirothWaifu]

They call it a running braid but it soo likes like one beautiful mane corn roll. Gorgeous bred

[@rylanaustin8837]

I have a horse that has SUPER LONG MANE!

[@taylorcasey6406]

Rylan Austin I have a western pleasure horse and his mane is past the bottom of his neck and I don’t exactly know why I signed him up for show jumping in 4H

[@alexandramcstay9466]

You are wearing a hook bracelet from my island of St. Croix! I came for the braid but stayed because of the bracelet. lol

[@Ribatejolusitanos]

I went there some years ago. It changed my entire life around. I am so missing STX and will come back for sure... Lifechanging place to be

[@Ribatejolusitanos]

Oh... I got the bracelet in 2009, and only had it off 2-3 times for MRI and airport security (Until I found out it won't beep if I keep it open ;) )

[@graciebryce]

literally your braids are soooo pretty and even and omg that was so satisfiying to watch lol

[@eliseblair5228]

What a beautiful and well behaved horse he is. Looking forward to trying this on my AMHAs! I have only ever done the ones going downwards before, but this is much nicer

[@kye6083]

Why was this in my recommendations 😂😂

[@charlotteella8641]

Why wouldn’t it be in your recommendations 😀

[@kye6083]

Charlotte Ella cause it’s random and useless for me, no hate on the video cause it’s kinda cool but like I said it’s random and useless for me.

[@charlotteella8641]

xxaye_ Kylax haha I was just being sarcastic.

[@Salazazas]

KZbin knows you need horses in your life.

[@cocario3920]

i have tons of horses (well they’re my barn owners but no one rides them so i take care of all them) and i enjoy braiding their names and tails but i fail drastically at braiding the main not so much the tail-

[@abbyhall1253]

That is one gorgeous horse❤️❤️😍😍😍

[@keilidhseashore99]

I love that the dog is just chilling in the bg lol

[@myrinegitta7480]

I can braid pretty well, but everytime I braid close to the neck my horse can't stretch his neck anymore. Anyone with the same problem?

[@juules4488]

Myrine De Waard that’s probably because you put the braid too tight maybe try doing it looser and not braiding your horses withers.

[@cocario3920]

you actually aren't supposed to braid that tight it's bad for the main and the horses neck...

[@audtea]

every few french braids, don’t add more hair for a couple folds and then resume french braiding. this allows more movement :)

[@lucylocket2179]

Wow your horse is amazing

[@heidilavikvikren7551]

Cute and beautifull horse

[@cazzmalcolm]

Thanks for posting this video. Very helpful :)

[@brendagarcia3669]

That's how thick my hair is 😂😂

[@btstxt9601]

brenda something same😂

[@HenzCarlTupasHenztupasgmailcom]

@@btstxt9601 Mine is also thick, but now coarse but I love it !

[@urealftp9123]

That’s thin girl-

[@wumboweird4221]

I saw somebody do this with their horse and I wanted to learn. Thanks so much

[@lucadegraaf8567]

Vitorino is the most beautiful horse I've ever seen!

[@gracetheequestrian3816]

this looks amazing i wish i was able to do this for my mare

[@juliawelch482]

Can you please do a video on how to clip bridle path, ears and withers? Great video!

[@YvonenLady]

very good video! I am looking forward to the one about the tail!

[@Ribatejolusitanos]

Thank you so much - it's on it's way :D

[@elizabethdinmore2962]

Wow you braid so beautifully. My horse has a very thick mane that is hard to braid as the little hairs stick out all over the place!

[@psychobunny32]

my dream horse! you are so lucky!!!!

[@shaileshkamble4148]

Really awesome braiding like pigtails

[@victoriacironecaswell2609]

Beautiful horse! xoxo

[@innerbug3695]

My granny has a pony that my little cousin rides and her name is flicker... she’s adorable and her withers are just above my belly button

[@miatreadwell1874]

Nice video lovely horse

[@pheminismisshit4571]

lovely hair setting

[@mikeylaporte4930]

i needed this thank u ❤️

[@MsRreyes1]

What a handsome horse 😍

[@jasminepalmer5391]

Stunning horse 😍

[@DPStefka]

This mane is to die for! My baroque pinto has friesian, crinkly hair. Can I achieve this result with a bit of water on his mane? Or will that destroy everything?

[@Turtlegurl1903]

OH MY GOD I LOVE HORSES THAT ARE THAT COLOR!!!!😍😍😍

[@Duck-nb4ci]

thank you big help!

[@eviethatsme1670]

Beautiful horse looks like spirit

[@HenzCarlTupasHenztupasgmailcom]

True

[@gopicarroll4501]

Hi, I have an Andalusian with a very long mane, however it looks short and messy at the withers and on the bridle path. Your Lusitano looks perfect. Have the withers and bridle path been clipped?

[@Fw_Gabre]

THANKS FOR THE HELP

[@myhorselife2921]

My cobs mane is so long and thick whenever I do this it falls out I’ll have to practice before the show this Sunday ! 😂

[@eleanornoble8942]

You can also use it with black electric tape. Rubber bands can tear the hair if you leave it in for a long time. Black electric tape doesn't tear the hair, doesn't leave a resudue unlike scotch tape, and is black so it still looks professional.

[@morganjames1778]

My horses mane is a little bit shorter than this horses mane. Do you think it will still work and not fall out?

[@Shannon-nl1dz]

With the forelock I always do it slightly looser then thread the plait back up through the braid and tuck it in x

[@ellyelzinga01]

It looks so easy when you or other people do this.. I will definitely have to find some time to practice, because every time I try, it goes wrong 🙈

[@Leziria]

This horse ist absolutely beautiful and the braids are so neat...my Lusitano has a super thick mane. Every braid I tried didn't last longer than five minutes 😕

[@jennygarcia1107]

You have a beautiful horse

[@shizukagozen777]

Waw Such a shiny mane !

[@shahzadkausar8363]

So beautiful 👍👍👍

[@pretty_d00med]

That is too cute omggg

[@rylanaustin8837]

Do you have any recommendations for my horse? She has very long thin hair and her forelock mane is VERY thin and is only like 7strands of mane. I love to do her mane (it helps her because she does not like it wen people touch her) but I don’t know if this will work on her... and recommendation????????

[@dbarata28]

great work!

[@Ribatejolusitanos]

Thank you so much :D

[@sarahnystrom8517]

Nice work

[@iideerieiiiirosieii6522]

I don't even have a horse LMAO but i love your videos

[@homeedconnect]

This does not look easy to me! But I am so motivated to try this on my new lusitanoX! His mane is crazy! (Do you clip the part of the mane that would otherwise be under the saddle pad?) Thank you so much for this great video!

[@kinsadiebowen698]

Just leave it loose, it can double as a oh crap handle when riding bareback 😂

[@leylaave]

This was so hard to do and I couldn’t do it for my last competition! :( Also my horse just wasn’t having it, lol.

[@eqsharps]

it still confuzzles me how do u do the braid I cant see

[@jasonmatthews4449]

First time ive seen someone use this word in a long time.

[@kdjdj5221]

Started with RDR2 Videos and now im here

[@MatildeM]

OMG It's Spirit!

[@myrinegitta7480]

Matilde Mar OMG! xD

[@rylanaustin8837]

Matilde Mar Spirit is a buckskin, this horse was not a buckskin...

[@myrinegitta7480]

Rylan Austin This is buckskin. Which colour do you think this horse is?

[@rylanaustin8837]

Myrine Gitta it is not Spirit because it does not have the dorsal stripe on its back

[@vidmi]

@@rylanaustin8837 Omg chillax its just a dorsal stripe big deal

[@deloresboyd358]

Beautiful braid, but does this hurt the horses neck when the braid is so tight? I feel for the horse.

[@HA-yk9bo]

I never thought that I'd look up mane braiding tutorial someday, I don't even have a pet

[@coudelarianp2380]

Very nice

[@processfitness]

Great but hard to follow cause my horses mane is on the other side of the neck. I tried it and it's tricky. I'll need more practice. Can you show it on the other side of the neck?

[@TheSunrayGirl]

Lavyn O you can just mirror the video

[@notkevinbro5451]

Lavyn O just search up a running braid and just make sure it’s tight to the neck it’s not that hard lol

[@notkevinbro5451]

Un utente di Google you can’t really force a mane to go to the other side lol.

[@skelly0n256]

To anyone who says “THAT LOOKS TOO TIGHT! YOULL HURT IT! 😭😭😭😭😭😭” just shut up and do research. Horses don’t have feeling in their mane.

[@Pyr.0.maniac]

If it's too tight the horse can't move it's neck properly.

[@organicbeauty54]

do it have to be tight?

[@tinkie3003]

I still have a cramp in my hand , I feel it... beautiful horse . Is it better for the hair to be loose in their face ..I see a lot of horses this way, I wonder if it bothers them the way it bothers me??

[@makie9464]

I've seen this video a hundred times and I only noticed these people were Portuguese too now. ;-; olaa!

[@yasmina2979]

A serieus question. Why do you braide the hair? Whats the function of it? Because it looks beautifull or because its good for the horse?

[@OneTrickPuppy32]

Yasmina she states in the video it’s to keep the mane as healthy as possible, it stops snagging and breakage under their bridle when being ridden.

[@r_z_t_17]

why does it look like human hair so much?! its so freakin pretty

[@mirtieewolterman1376]

This is a Dutch braid!

[@sigridvanosch1990]

So? on a portugese horse, goes with the portuguese style. There's not much dutch about a dutch braid. I'm dutch.

[@KylaFuller]

Not everyone calls it that though.

[@samshaffer2218]

Proper name is under braid.

[@giraffel3859]

I thought it was a cornroll

[@hiimjustanotherkidlivingmy8392]

Sigrid van Osch does it matter if your dutch?

[@carissaliao4390]

Horse is sooooooooo cute

[@khurramsaleembhatti5144]

Amezing

[@mackenziedickens7600]

can someone let me know if this is just like an invert/Dutch lace braid ??

[@ThePuppyfan11]

yeah its just a dutch braid

[@thevirtualzookeeper8226]

Wouldn't sugar attract bugs?

I cut bangs on a camp houres before

[@brianombeba8633]

Can you do a Mohawk next time.

[@kamdynkolb3623]

Omg that horse stays so still the horse that I work with doesn’t stay still she never got worked with as much until I started working with her

[@Harry-ei7os]

I got sore hands watching. Looks cool though

[@PferdeBlog-LisaPeters]

I get the feeling, the horse does not like it

[@nootnoot8434]

Pferde Blog how

[@sigridvanosch1990]

the horse is abviously used to it.

[@emmaw.6872]

I agree. Whenever she pulled tight the horse would wiggle and move

[@lizmartinez4987]

Actully horses cant really feel that to much so you can pull there hair and it won’t hurt excuse my bad spelling

[@annikiasamivt]

not braiding it would be even worse . he would sweat and it could end in a skin irritaion. so he has no choice.Braiding your own hair doesnt hurt or is uncomfi so ...

[@aandhforever7702]

Yeah it's easy....now teach me patience for braiding my 4 year olds mane...

[@gwynethchloe]

Omg I wanna braid horse hair oml

[@makie9464]

you say that until you actually try

[@tessarennie927]

Am I the only one who is watching this but their horse has a tiny mane

[@brynbologna3390]

Could u use this in a hunter jumper show?

[@megans5621]

Bryn Bologna I don’t think so but there is a way to do the standard hunter braids with a long mane

[@zoejewell4317]

No, you can’t. For the hunter ring you need small button braids that are tight on the horses neck.

[@baronhawkins4740]

Barons wife here/ I tried to braid my mini. My problem with the first time braiding was his mane being so thick. This style looks like it will work better than my first go. Your horse is beautiful!!! Love the braid style here!!!

[@ericay3225]

I know this is a year late, but a tip for minis is to split the mane in two right down the middle. And then do a running braid on each side. Kinda like pigtails.

[@maddydavies3221]

Omg i can never keep my horse still he always moves his head and pulling from.the haynet

[@millerbaker6856]

I have a lot of hair but that horse has LOTS

[@audreymoon7269]

Everyone in the comments is worried about her pulling the hair too hard. Guys horses dont have a lot of nerves in the mane. They can barely feel it. Plus if it hurts then they will 100% let you know. I'm more worried about the fact that she says she uses sugar water to make the hair sticky. I feel like that can be irritating to the skin and it will definitely attract insects.

[@kippen64]

What happened to the tail braid?

[@Ribatejolusitanos]

I know... It will come! Sorry for not doing what I said - minor accident kept me away! and then... I completely forgot about my promise!!

[@KatharinaHaererBranes]

Is this braid permitted for shows?

[@Ribatejolusitanos]

Yes, I have competed CDN GP level with this exact braid :)

[@kittycatdays8719]

That is such thick hair oh god

[@medinaisabekova563]

Where after?
