Thanks! I don't really know what the braids are called but I did the same thing for both the Hunter/Jumper show and the Dressage show. I made each braid two fingers wide and braided waxed string in each (used QuickBraid spray for controlling loose pieces), then I threaded the dangling waxed string from the bottom up and under the braid at the top then tying creating a loop in each braid. In the Hunter/Jumper shows the other riders then 'bumped' the braid but I didn't with Gat because her braids were not equal length -- and I wasn't going to cut it or pull it -- but the coach said it was fine like that. She looked very tidy and I think that's the goal. Alex kept 'speaking' for Gat saying "I'm not a poodle!"....cute. V
