Actually, a few WP riders are leaving long manes if the horse can pull it off (ie: Has an awesome neck). I would say french braid it, or band it as usual - and leave it long if you want, bands will just keep it from flying everywhere.

Braiding is usually acceptable at the local level for both disciplines because of the cross over possibility.

Leave it long, just band it. As long as it's neat and tidy, points shouldn't be deducted.
