How To Running Braid & French Braid your horse for schooling - FULL TUTORIAL
This is a basic tutorial on how to execute a Running Braid vs. a French braid, the differences between them, and the different uses.
There are MANY many variables to consider when determining which braid to use and why, but the basics are as follows:
First, both of these braids are intended for breeds whose standards require long, natural manes. I highly suggest shortening your horse's mane and using rosette ("button") or hunter braids if the breed does not specifically require or show long standing tradition of displaying a long, natural mane.
The RUNNING braid is the easier braid to execute. If you are inexperienced, start with this one. It also looks better and holds better integrity in thicker manes such as those of Fresians and other draft breeds. It is ideal for super long thick manes, and lays lower and looser on the horse, so consider this braid for horses who are more sensitive.
The FRENCH braid is more attractive, but requires more skill to execute well. This braid is lovely for show (although, be sure to FINISH it for show, with yarn, as opposed to with bands as in this tutorial), for clinics, or for schooling/lessons. If your horse has a long mane that might not be quite as thick, such as some Iberian horses, quarter horses, or even some less fortunate Fresians, the running braid is the way to go. It is tighter to the mane, but moves with the neck very well.
If you have an specific questions, suggestions, or, God forbid, challenges, feel free to comment or e-mail me! I'm always happy to help a fellow Equestrian understand how to better turn out their horse, OR, justify my methods to anyone who doesn't understand them, as well as learn from someone else who has even more excellent ideas!

He wants to see who she is talking too.
I love the second one!
Thank you so much you explained very well I tried this on my mare she looks very pretty 👍🥰😍
Hey P3zzy
Bit brutal with the brush , caught his ear. :(
I like it and I would like to apply it on my horse.
Thank you for this tutorial! Very much appreciated.
Thank you so much I am going to a show in a week and I wanted to try a different type of braid because all of the pony's have bobles and I find their boring.
your french braid is actually a dutch braid and your runnig braid is a french braid... i know this video is from a long time ago but i just needed to share that haha
I like your earbells it is like a horse-shoe
Clearest video and accompanying explanation I’ve found - thank you so much!
Lol really long mane
omijeez THANK YOU for the great detailed video and clear instruction on that French Braid! I could do a running braid, but the one close to the crest mystified me.
It's so hard to see how you do it :(
14:29 He doesn't
I really wanna do the french braid on my gelding Felix, but I think his mane is still too thin for it!
This is great! He's also a very handsome horse!
I don't need a stool, would probably need retractable legs😂😂
The start was slow but as it went on I was thankful for all the info. It was detailed and explained very well. Thank! Now I think I finally understand this brain cause mjne always just fall out, lol!
Thank you, my minis have incredibly thick manes and this keeps them cool in the summer.
Heavy Metal I keep seeing you throwing your unwanted opinion on everyones comments. How old are you? 12? We get it, you’re a little miss/mr know it all. Clearly nobody knows more about horses than you, right? I mean... you seem pretty flashy with all your knowledge there buddy. Just a little news flash for ya; everyone has their own vision and techniques on how they deal with THEIR horses, you would know that if you attended events and pony clubs. Which in sure you’ve done all of that, right? keep out of it and respect people’s ways. You don’t know everything
I’m so glad I found this video I’ve been trying to do the French braid I had no idea you did it every single time bc no other video say that❤️Thank you
Thank you this helped me a lot
Why don't u just pull it?
😀😀😍😍😍
Regardless the quality of the video ,i think its fantastic, very wel explained, can`t wait to go and try this tomorrow.Thank you for the effort!!!
Ha because my horse had such a thick smallish mane, i had to make 2 plaits but now his mane is really long after the winter rest im still not brushing it often but next year its going to be greay
Yes! I have an Andalusian too and I feel your pain! I keep my horses's mane braided so he doesn't sweat, and it doesn't get so tangled. Here it is th-cam.com/video/DENPLKA1fzo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you I'm going to practice this for my next show :).
I usually do a french braid but the result is always ending with my horse putting her head down and the the whole braid stretches out 😕 does anyone know what i can do to prevent it from happening??
This I perfect my horses mane goes past her shoulder and are pasture fencing is made out of barb wire and I'm so afraid she will rip it out on it and now I can do this and she has not ripped it out once love your vid and you new horse
do you have to use the running braid fif drsseage
no. you can use any braid you like.
Dressage Andalusian thats not true, either a running braid or the braids you fold up
Loved it thank you so much I will be able to practise these on my pony Millie now... I feel like I could actually do them now, before I thought they were so difficult and I couldn't do it but watching your video made it so much more simple
how long can u leave either of these braids in at a time? hours? days?
Horse girl 88 a few bourse, you don't want to leave it in for to long, the hair can get thinned and damage the mane
i think any braid should be taken out after up to two days, no more. if its a tight plait; thats iffy, because its so tightened it can damage the mane in the smallest amount if time. A running braid, or the braid in this video, i believe can stay as long as standard maintenance braids can. (2 days MAX)
I was on a stool while i was braiding a lesson horses mane and she pushed me off with her nose :,)
My horse does that all the time, lol
briinka girl same
sorry but that horses mane isn't really that long 💚
lola king it’s not *really* long but it’s long. It’s not short.
what and ego lmao
I tried the running braid today and it came out wonderful!!! Thank you!
wow, I always thought the running braid was called a French braid... gonna try the French braid on my friesian mare!
love your horse
How long can the running braid last
Juan EspinozA depends on your horse my horse hers lasted 2 day and on my Shetland pony it lasted a week
Juan EspinozA but the French braid can last up to a month but don't recommend that because you need to keep the mane clean and it's hard to clean in a braid
You don't clip a bridle path?
The audio was out of time to the video
Great video 😁 and OMG your horse is so beautiful 😍
The audio on this video is awful
the video is out of sync when she talks. I noticed that.
Nicely explained. I have a saddlebred stud I'm planning using for dressage, and I don't want to lose his glorious mane. I've always done a running braid, but now I'll have to try a French braid as well.
I have a halflinger and she has the thickest and longest mane i have ever seen
Carrie Barker same with my Shetland pony and grey horse(like the one in the video)
Awesome video! The braid looks good when I do it, but by the time I've warmed up at a show, it has completely fallen out. Anyone know of any ways to make it stay in longer?
it might not be tight enough. Do not let the horse lower his head after braiding. Hair spray.
+hunthevalley Ok, thanks! :)
I buy yarn that is the same color as my horses mane and then tie sections of the braid together at regular intervals. That has really helped keep her braid from falling out.
Definately hair spray
How many h is the horse and how tall are you? Thx 😊
Anyone have any ideas how to keep the mane plaited neat over night when the horse is on pasture?
+babalina Double or triple band it! :)
+babalina hey u could use a snuggie xx
jammies might do it. Close to impossible because when the horse lowers his head the braid loosens.
Hair spray
I am getting the hang of this, but the bottom "line" underneath is really sloppy. Don't understand what I am doing wrong. ????
