Another coincidence-we also have a chestnut flaxen mane/tail only occasionally plait but I found a blonde/brown colour which looks good. Can't remember where from,will check later if it has name.

I used light brown on mine when we had a chestnut but I don't wrap the thread round the plait so you couldn't see it anyway!

He has really fine and slippery hair, even with Quick Braid its a job to get hold of it. I wish I could plait and not see the cotton -0 will somone give me lessons please?

I think some people just have the knack of plaiting really well. I have broken all of my fingers at various time sin a lifetime with horses and now I am an OAP they are getting very arthritic - thats my excuse and Im sticking to it!!
