CSI Saddlepads makes some English versions. They are pricey, but really comfortable for the horse. They are bulky and kind of make you feel disconnected from the horse, but are the best for the...

However long you want it to be. I usually don't pull the forelock unless it becomes unmanageable to braid. If I'm not braiding I don't pull it until it starts to annoy me in some way. There's no...
