If you'd like to keep your horses mane long or thick we will still do the braiding without cutting or trimming the mane however, an excessively thick or long mane may not give the results you'd like. If this is the case we will discuss the options and outcomes when we arrive and we will proceed with whichever option you'd like. If you'd like to discuss options before booking your appointment feel free to contact us.
