One of the more entertaining (& quick) outfits I've seen was a 'polo pony' - horse covered in empty wrappers with polos dangling down from it's mane - tail tied up ready for polo sport action and handler sporting polo attire and holding a mallet.... I still chuckle thinking about it 8 years later!

fabulous photos, great captions and a lot of jealousy from me - looks like you had a completely wonderful time - i want to go and play in the sea... (daydreaming of a trip to Norfolk)
