The Running Braid for Saddle and Pleasure-type Horse

Welcome back to the channel Equine Hair by Sabina. Today's video shows you how and why we braid the runing braid on our curly-necked saddle and pleasure-type horses. Got any more questions? Feel free to comment them below! To clarify what might have been confusing: I do not recommend using any products like ShowSheen to detangle the mane before braiding when you first start out. I personally do sometimes use that and similar products because I am very familiar with braiding but for someone newer to the hand holds and techniques, it will only make things harder. You can just as easily detangle by adding a bit of plain water and this will add a lot more 'grip' when it comes time to braid. If you are hiring a pro-braider, please don't use the above-mentioned ShowSheen or similar products as they will only make braiding more tedious. That being said, as you get more comfortable with braiding, it's up to you what you want to use. For any of your William Woods students watching, be on the look out for flyers for my first clinic 'Running and Hunter Braids' going up soon.
