Plaiting a horse's mane Item Info
- Title:
- Plaiting a horse's mane
- Creator (Organization):
- Iowa State University
- Date Created:
- 1915
- Description:
- This photograph illustrates the technique of mane braiding, also called plaiting. Shown is the head and neck of a white Percheron draft horse with ribbon and five alternating dark and light colored flowers braided into the mane along the horse's crest, beginning at the poll (ears) and ending in a switch of ribbon at the withers (shoulder). Part of the mane has been left hanging down along the side of the neck, resulting in a "half-plait" since only half of the hair is braided or plaited. Braiding manes for show is still a popular technique used today for enhancing the appearance of a horse.
