The quick knots certainly help with the time taken to plait up for competition. The pin is flexible and secured the plait really well I have left them in overnight for 2 day comp, with a skinny hood on and they stay in place and still look great the next day.
I ordered the brown for my chestnut mare and was quite taken aback that it is called brown. It is more gold. I have a flaxen chestnut, so they aren’t too bad, but they are definitely not brown. I understand there has been a change to the colour and it matches much better. Looking forward to trying these out!
