Need to sell one of our registered Belgian mares. She is tall and upheaded and would make a nice warmblood/sporthorse bred to a light breed!! She is Becky's daughter (remember the one I show?) and is 8 yr old. Sweet mare, but still green as I haven't had time to do anything for the last couple of years!

Is there a preferred side of the neck for the mane to fall on for the dressage world??

Hi Perry~
Most of the time you will see the mane braided on the right side of the neck. If the mane if free, good luck trying to tell it wich side it should fall! I tried 'forcing' a mane to fall on the right by braiding it over there and leaving it for 2 weeks. Took the braids out, it looked fabulous, lying there so nice an flat, me feeling very smug about the fact that I was oh-so-smart ~~ until my mare shook her head and neck and the entire mane flipped to the left side and lay there, looking perfect and flat. Which is where she wore it for the rest of her life! I'm an "L" Graduate judge and in all my training there I've never heard any strong opinions as to which side of the neck the braids are placed, just more often you'll see them on the right.
