Step 1: Dampen the pony's mane with a wet brush, and divide it into an odd number of even-sized sections using plaiting bands to hold the hair in bunches.
Step 2: Starting behind the ears, divide each section into three.Plait tightly from the base and keep an even tension on each section.
Step 3: At the end of each plait, push your needle and thread through the bottom of the plait from underneath. Make a loop with the thread around the plait, pass the needle through the loop and pull tight. Repeat this to make the plait more secure.
Step 4: Push the needle up through the base of the plait, close to the crest of your pony's neck. This will double the plait over.
Step 5: If your pony's mane is long, fold the plait again.
Step 6: Pull the needle and thread through the plait, loop around the side and repeat a few times each side to secure it.
Step 7: Cu the thread close to the plait so it looks neat.
