Essential Horse Braiding Tools

Pin It

Designed by Professional braiders, these patented tools are made for speed and safety. Ruthann’s braiding system allows you to not only braid faster, but also get a better feel for the sizing to yield more beautiful and durable braids. Straight hook does not loosen braids. Scissors are perfect for braiding and unbraiding. No more seam rippers! Comfortable and adjustable lanyard lets implements hang at wrists for easy access. When a horse pulls back, instead of the hook flapping on his head, you can control the situation to send the horse to the ring not only looking great, but also level-headed. Those are Lucky Braids!

These Essential Braiding Tools are available separately or with the Lucky Braids How-to Video, so anyone can learn to braid like a pro to achieve top turnout.

Tools come with samples of Lucky Braids Yarn and All-In-One Shampoo, which can improve your braiding, as well as Ruthann’s tips for pulling manes peacefully and solving the most pervasive grooming issues.

Soft black webbing is comfortable on the neck

Promotes speedy braiding. Tools handily hang at wrists so they are not dropped to the ground, which would slow you down, break your rhythm and lose your feel for the sizing.

Great for sending horses to compete: well turned-out, quiet and confident.
Available with the celebrated Lucky Braids How-to Video and Tool or separately.

Lucky Braids Yarn Sample

"We recommend Lucky Braids by Ruthann’s Essential Horse Braiding Tools. The basic tools—a latch hook and scissors—are attached to a strap which increases the braider’s ability to braid quickly and safely, since he or she doesn’t need to worry about dropping tools or leaving them in the mane of a startled horse who is pulling back in its crossties. These highest quality scissors are also all you need for unbraiding quickly and without cutting hair." Horse Journal (The "Consumer Reports" of the equine industry)
