I have a Gypsy mare (draft) with long thick silky mane. I love it, but it is impossible to french braid and keep it that way. I usually have to rebraid it the minute before I go in the ring, and lose half of it by the end of the test.
Within minutes, she pulls half of it out, just by stretching. If I braid it with her head/neck down, it bunches up when her head is normal. If I braid it when her head is normal, our first stretch makes it loose. I have tried several gels and hairspray to no avail- her hair just gets slippier, I think.
Any tips on getting a good mane for show time?
French braiding for show and staying braided?
hairspray, lots and lots of hairspray.

Do not keep his mane braided because his mane will crack!
