Braiders are burned out.

There’s a real braider shortage at horse shows right now, and it’s not because people don’t want to work. It’s because unpaid invoices, last-minute changes, unprepared horses, and “just one more” requests add up fast. Respect, preparation, and clear communication are how we keep skilled braiders in the sport.
