Well, I am way too lazy to braid....so I pull or in some cases too lazy to pull....just wack it off. Looks like crap for about 2 months....but then looks right. I don't mean that I clip it off, just about 3 inches. Right now Aries looks like an old Roman war horse, with the mane that sticks straight up. All I need is the sword !!! Joni won't let me near her horses...they have to have an Arab mane she thinks.

I never braid on training rides, and I live in SE Texas (think: sauna). I figure they can do conditioning rides without braids and adapt to any excess heat that generates. Then at rides I braid. Although, my
current horse has kind of a sparse, shortish mane. :( Poor guy is mane challenged.
