RE: [RC] Braiding the mane - Kristen A FisherI think this lattice is also called a Russian mat. I
must caution that a horse at a show a couple years ago was shown in a Russian
mat and they left it in when they stalled the horse. He went to scratch his neck
with a hind foot, it got caught in the mane, and down he went. I think he was OK
but am pretty sure they had to cut a lot of the mane off to free
him.
There is a lot more surface area to get entangled in a
foot/shoe with the lattice than straight braids.
