I do about 9-11....big ones though
When i don't have time and want him to be cool i put in about 3 pony tails

Ditto 11. Should always be an odd no. in uk and no different for mares or geldings. Jo x

Well, for dressage I do roughly 15 to 18 on my horse. And those are nice sized braids (makes his neck look awesome!).

But then when I braid the ponies for the hunter ring I do between 20 and 30 braids depending on the pony.

9 or 11 unless I am plaiting my mini who has 7

It is correct to always have an odd number - 9, 11 or 13 is the normal accepted number (15 if your horse is REALLY long). an even number in the mane and then one in the forelock

Sly's neck is really long, I did 33 for our last show. I usually count out about 30 strings though. Cody usually only takes 25

25 to 30 braids.
