Thanks louisecastello! I hope, if not for Halloween, this could be a "themed" costume inspiration for someone's future horse show. I mentioned way back when in an earlier post...how this particular equestrian attire originated in the 1800s in Hawaii. I'll need to do back trekking on this.
btw... I wonder how TheGoldenHayflinger is coming along with her costumes for Jet and Mitch??
Here's another costume idea. Dress yourself as a fox, and dress your horse as a hound.
I recently went on a mock hunt where the kids got to play the hounds. They made hound ears for the kids by painting brown and black spots on tube socks, then they applied the socks to an elastic band the kids wore over their helmets. You could make ears for the horse, paint spots on him, and wrap his tail to look like a dog's tail. The fox was one of the adult hunt members. She dressed in rust, put little fox ears on her helmet, and had a fox tail dangling from her butt.
Now that's a fun idea lauraj_cincinnati! Mitch would make a great hound due to his coat color...black spots could easily be painted on him! :oD
Maybe dress Jet as the Hunt Master or the Huntsman (the one who directs the hounds and blows the horn) and TheGoldenHayflinger could ride as a hound! LOL! What a fun scene this would all make! :oD
That is very ingenious indeed. I think it would b funnier to be dressed in jodphurs and red coat with crisp white ascot and black derby hat. Gloves and quirt, too, of course.
LOL! These poor horses I wonder how they must feel. ( Other horses around them are probably laughing their tails off! Lots of tail less horses! I remember my riding instructor put on some yellow paste for fungus growth on my lesson horse's face (Patty) and she sort of looked like an Indian Warrior with yellow war paint on. The horse next door probably made a comment to Patty as Patty had no way of knowing what she looked like.
You could tell that the neighboring horse was making fun of her by Patty's body language and she started clacking her teeth! Poor girl...she hung her head low and coward in the corner of her stall all depressed. The things humans do to their pets. :oP
