How do you braid a horses tail?

Question

Does anybody know a good website with good pictures that teaches you how to braid or pleat a horses tail?

Answer 1

Do you know how to french braid a person's hair? It's not much different. Actually, I find it easier since the horse's hair is courser.

Just start at the very top of the tail, and continue the french braid down to the end of the dock (the bony part of the tail.) Tie off the end of the braid with a rubber band, then fold the end of the braid up underneath of itself. There are other ways of finishing off the end as well, that's just how I do it.

Here's some sites that explain it in more detail:
