I want to do Leader for fun, and practice.

I personally think that their 'finished braid' could be better

I just did pasture braids.
I'm downloading the pics, then they'll be in horse chat

One tip with the pasture braids is to do them SUPER loose at the crest. That way, when the horse bends down to graze the braids don't pull and make them rub the braids out and break the hairs off real bad.

Double split french braid....How Cool is that. Its basicaly a mane that is parted in the middle and french braided on both sides. cool. I will have to try that.

That's pretty easy to explain....

Begin with a tangle free mane

Next band the mane near the crest in sections about 1 inch wide.

Split each ponytail into TWO sections, and band half of it to half of the next section....

continue for as many rows as you'd like to do!
