i dont do that kind of knot, i just wrap each end of yarn around the end a couple times [in different directions if that makes sense !] then used the ends to tie a regular knot.

a braided mane- traditional english style for the Garryowen Equestrienne Turnout in melbourne- possibly most prestigious class in Aus-- however i don't think this is a particularly good effort- i mean look at those loose strands- anyway best pic i could find

Do you HAVE to braid the forelock? I always thought that it looked kinda cute when just the mane was braided and the forelock was left out .. but will you get in sh*t for that?
