I think that's a pretty common way of braiding Arabian manes, or the breeds 
where trimming and pulling manes is frowned upon - I think I have some pics 
somewhere in one of my grooming books.

It's called a continental braid.

Not a terribly good job, but you get the idea. It's *simple* to do,
much easier than the traditional braids done on show horses. (I've
been considering show grooming again and practicing braiding, I've
decided it's not worth it!)

A few years ago, someone had done a great job of braiding (Andrea
Barber???)  She started out with a series of pony tails all along the
mane close to the roots...

And then started another series of pony tails from those by separating
the pony tails at the rools.  It created a loose open net effect.  I
wish I had pictures.

Very nicely done!  I just do plain braids on Gat, but use colorful elastics.
