Each kit contains a Mane-a-kin™, braiding elastics, colored ribbon, yarn, yarn needle, comb and detachable base.

Finally, there's a convenient way to practice show braiding skills at home. There are plenty of products equestrians can use to help braids look great and to go faster, but where are they going to develop the hand skills associated with show quality braiding? Many equestrians do not have their own horse or easy access to a barn, so they are limited in their options if they want to develop better hand skills. Now there's a much easier way ... with Mane-a-kins™.

Each Mane-a-kin™ is completely hand crafted with a mix of genuine and synthetic hair to replicate both the fullness and slippery nature of horse hair. The hand skills gained from using a Mane-a-kin™ are transferable to those needed to work on a live horse.

Mane-a-kins™ are perfect for:
• A teaching tool in large barns • Equestrian Camps • Braiding/Product Demos • Holiday or birthday gifts • Decor

MSRP: $34.95. Volume Discounts Available.
