Editorial Reviews: Product Description Next to riding, there's nothing horse people love more than to pamper and groom their horses. Particularly satisfying among grooming tasks, braiding manes and tails is a calming, centering routine, enjoyed equally by horse and rider. And, of course, handsome braids are a requirement for showing in many riding disciplines. Horse trainer and instructor Charni Lewis brings the wonderful process of braiding to life in her clearly described, step-by-step guide to 30 beautiful braids. Helping the braider along are full-color photographs and detailed illustrations showing twists and turns that make each style unique and the hand positions necessary to hold those ropes of equine hair in place. To keep hands free for braiding, the book has a nail hole at the top of each page for easy hanging on a post or barn wall. Lewis begins with detailed advice on choosing and using appropriate tools, preparing the horse, and creating a safe area in which to work. After a chapter on no-nonsense maintenance braids (used primarily to keep the horse neat and clean), she progresses through all the classic braids required for each riding discipline ? from a Diamond dressage braid to the Three-ribbon style favored for gaited show horses. Finally, Lewis lets loose with braids that are simply fun to do. She encourages readers to experiment with a Scalloped Hunter mane braid or a Fourstrand Weave for the tail. They look gorgeous, and when the novelty wears off, there are many more to try!

Customer Reviews: Awesome! 100% Helpful! Perfect for beginning braiders! November 4, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful This is an awesome book that I would recommend highly to any beginner braider's. My 14 year old daughter shows Hunter Pleasure and Sport Horse Under Saddle and we were tired of paying braider's at shows....so..within two days of receiving this book...my daughter is braiding her horses mane and tail....and she said it was the easy step by step explanations and the hole for hanging made it even easier. Buy with confidence! A++++ very helpful product September 7, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful very helpful and easy to understand book on braiding. Photos were clear and instructions easy to understand. good instructions for braiding manes August 28, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful If you want to really learn the different ways to braid manes then this book is for you. Beautifully published May 14, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful For the aesthetically inclined book lover, this is a must. It is spiral bound and beautifully composed with rich color, clear photographs and diagrams, and an easy to read format. My only criticism of the book was that there were no really intricate uncommon braids included. Growing up in the horse world, I have learned many braids, all of which are in this book. Unfortunately, there were no new braids for me to learn which seriously bummed me out. I'm not unhappy with my purchase though, as this is a clear and concise guide to braiding that I can use to teach students and friends.
