I actually use a type of hair spray when doing my horses' manes. its from loreal paris "Tangle Tamer", its like, $3 at the store, it smells good and it doesn't leave his mane gross. here's a link:

and i also agree with the braiding/banding. that's what i do about a week before a show, leave it in for about 5 days, wash it(if you can) 2 days before, braid it the night of, and put a sleezy over it so it looks professional.
