Oh, yeah!  I used to do this to the Haflinger's mane.  I think it is called 'plaiting" the mane.  Not positive though.  Very pretty!  I like the triangle shape.  I used to just end each strand with its own rubber band.  This looks much tidier.

It's not really a BRAID, per se, but it is pretty.  Takes FOR-EV-ER to do.
