FancyDress ideas needed! (Horsey I promise!)

[miss_c]

Ok, riding club Halloween show is coming up, and I need fancy dress! I'm rubbish at ides so thought I'd ask you lot.

It MUST
-Be easy/cheap to make/get together
-Be possible to ride and jump in
-Be something Genie will let me wear near her!
-Be amazing!! (Of course!)

Many thanks, and cookies to anyone who suggests things!

not original but a witch? green hair extensions inside your riding hat and tall hat over the top, all in black and maybe clip in some green extensions into ponio's tail?

One of the black riders out of LOTR? Just a big black cloak over everything and make your hat a bit taller by taping carboard round it and then pull the hood over it.

turn Genie into a spider - black rug with an extra 4 legs made from tights and stuffed with something sewn on bottom edges so they swing around. I dressed my little pony up like this when I was about 13 and jumped a 2ft course. She didnt seem to mind the 'legs' flapping around but then she put up with a lot of things poor pony! ( I was dressed as Little Miss Muffet though so not sure what you could dress as ... maybe just a ghost in a sheet or skeleton costume or witch. Add a few green stands to her mane and tail etc.

A Headless Horseman! Build up your shoulders to hat level in an XXX-size t-shirt, making some holes to see out of. Make a fake head, preferably soft, and carry that, or pin it to your arm so you can hold the reins.

Does it have to be halloween themed? Id go as a needle in a haystack. Cover old sheet/rug in hay (fold out , glue then shake hay over) and dress yourself in grey/silver/tinfoil. cheap and easy

hmmmm

what about xmas pudding cut a white sheet for icing(cut it wavy(sp)) and put under saddle draping over hind quarters a little bit then dress up in green for the holly on the top

How about a mad vet?

Get some theatre greens off someone who works in NHS (no I'm not suggesting they steal anything - just borrow....!) Splatter with ketchup, put on a mask, get a theatre cap to go over hat - find a toy stethscope.....and we're away.....
