I braid all of mine, all the time.  Otherwise, I end up spending hours trying to keep all those manes untangled.  Dreadlocks have nothing on the knots & tangles my gang manages to get their manes in.

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.
