Banded and braided manes
 

Over the weekend, i banded Vega's mane and did a diamond braid in Gem's mane.

Vega also fell asleep in the cross ties :lol:

wow - those look really good!

i've never heard of the diamond braid before...sure does look cool though!

oh! i did the dimond braid on a pony once because her mane was long, tangled and was in some serious need of some TLC!

but it didnt look as good as this one :)

there manes look great!

I love the first picture. I have seen it done before but never thought of using it for training the main. How neat. You're a perfectionist my dear:D

Wow!! Great job!! They look cute!!

I really like it :D

I really like it :D

Very nice!! They both look great. :D Soo cute. I LOVE Vega's little nose markings & her cute eyes!! I also like Gem's coloring!
What cuties. :D

The diamond braid was not done to train Gem's mane.. it already stays down on that side. I thought it looked really cool on a website i saw, so i decided, since he has the length, to do it.

Vega's mane, after putting a sleezy hood on it, has been doing really well. I figure i'll braid it in a few days to really help it stay down.

The diamond braid is really easy to do too. If anyone wants to know, let me know :)
