Below is a link to video demonstration by Bean. She shows you how to plait the mane, tail, and forelock using both bands and thread. There is more information and diagrams in your pony club Manual of horsemanship pages 107-111. Over the next few weeks you will hopefully get lots of time to practice. Maximum turn out scores await you!
