"Horses are majestic, noble animals who are also highly intelligent and very sociable. These characteristics (along with their general usefulness for travel or labor) led to a long and fruitful relationship with humans, who have been breeding horses for a very, very long time. In that long history, we came up with some interesting grooming techniques for the horses. Braiding a horse's mane or tail is a practice that dates back centuries. As horses became the primary mode of transportation, braiding or plaiting their mane was a way to prevent it from getting excessively tangled up and/or getting ensnared in items like a soldier's musket. It's also a great way to preserve the health of the horse's hair." (from Equestrian Escapes) .
