If you don't roach it, consider pulling it to make the difference seem a little less subtle? Shapley's makes a spray on color enhancer... it's basically like spray paint for your horse. A lot of WP people spray it into their horse's tail (corresponding color of course) to make it look thicker, so if you brush it into the short remnants of where she pulled her mane out to make it appear longer and thicker and just PULL the rest, it may look a little more even.

I don't think they make horse weaves, unfortunately.

Well you honestly can't do to much about the hole in the middle of her mane.....so just act as though it's not there and just braid her mane normally. If you really want you could always french braid the mane, that would help make it look like there isn't a gap.

But honestly, I need to braid her mane even though parts of it are missing. I was in a show one year (long time ago) and a really nice arab beside me didn't place, the judge walked up to her and said "you would have placed if your mane has been braided" And the only reason that she didn't braid was b/c of the same problem as you. So braid no matter what!
