Yes, all those details make for a beautiful presentation.

Many interesting and beautiful details, Anne! And now I have learned something new things again – thank you. I agree about the braids – they always look so elaborate, and now I know something about how much time and effort put into it as well. Wonderful photos!

Hi, Anne. Fascinating details from dressage and beautiful images. I love those braids in particular. I wish my hair was long enough for them!
-
Thank you for commenting Patti. I often think that it may be similar to having corn braids put in human hair and may not be too comfortable but the horses do not seem to mind.
-
They could pinch if they’re too tight, but the horses seem to revel in looking handsome!
-
I agree. I think my horse certainly knows that being braided means he is going to be able to show off in the show ring!😄

Wonderful details Anne. I especially loved the two close-ups of the horses’ manes. Amazing. How long do you think something like that takes??
-
I’m not sure but I would think at least an hour. They do it in two stages first braiding in colored ribbons and then attaching the decorative pieces. One person holds the horse and the other person sits on top of the horse as they are so tall they cannot be reached from.the ground without a ladder.

Quite a production!

I’m in awe with these details! Beautifully done. These horses must be very patient. 🙂

Thank you Amy! I appreciate this comment from you. The Percherons have a quieter temperament than the sport horses do. And they know their job when they are in the show ring!

The Knight’s stirrups, boots and spurs are really cool!

They are in the Wallace House collection in London. They have two sets of armour for both horse and rider as well as lots of other bits and pieces of Medieval armour. It is fascinating. Thanks for commenting.

You are welcome, I used to raise draft horses, I enjoy looking at your photos.

I have always had a soft spot for the heavy horses. I love going to the Royal Winter Fair and taking photos of the big horses . It is possible to go to the stabling area and see them being groomed and braided. And then the cacophany of their huge hooves clattering as they move off,over the cement floor, into the holding ring before their class. For the six horse hitch it is really something.
