About PEBA

A profession that works while the show sleeps

Braiders start work around 10 p.m. and finish before the first class. The Professional Equestrian Braiders Association exists so that skill is recognized, standards are shared and stables know who they are letting into their barns.

Certify

Scored, in-person assessments by Master Braiders with credentials that expire, so a badge always reflects current skill.

Educate

The PEBA Academy and apprenticeships give new braiders a structured path from first knot to show-night speed.

Connect

Stables and trainers find verified braiders by show, discipline and night, and every completed job can be reviewed.
