How do I create the perfect, chunky dressage plaits?
This is how!
PRODUCTS USED:
Smart Grooming Plaiting Wax
Lincoln Rubber Plaiting Bands
Smart Grooming Flat Wax Plaiting Thread
Horsewise Plaiting Spray
Things to bare in mind about this style of plaiting:
I do the fewer, chunky plait style (sometimes known as Dutch Style). The usual number of plaits in dressage is between 9-13 for the mane, made even with the forelock plait. I never do more than 9 in the mane, because creating the arched root is much harder when the plaits are small.
More plaits in the mane can also have the opposite effect and make the neck look less muscled and a bit weaker.
This is a bit more common in dressage, but it can also be done for other disciplines too. I have done it for show jumpers too, I just stick to the 9 plaits in the mane, and I try to make them pretty tight with less of an arch.
Any more questions don’t hesitate to contact me!

How do you know if you should clip your horse or not. The answer is dependent on a few factors:
• work load
• ability to keep horse warm (rugs)
• time of year
• stabling
A horse in regular work who sweats up during exercise can be clipped in order to make them more comfortable.
The type of clip you want would also depend on the above factors - the amount of work the horse is in will dictate how much of the horse’s coat to remove.
Whatever the choice, it is completely personal preference. I have clipped horses who are in no work, and horses in heavy work. The choice to clip or not is personal, and as long as the horse has sufficient warmth to keep them comfortable and healthy, it really doesn’t matter what you should choose!😁
How to Clip CHICA’S Face:
To complete this, you must be clipping this very pony…. Not all ponies can be clipped using this method.
Step 2 is very key 😴😴😂
