ha ha! I knew someone would ask! My yard has decided to put on a christmas fancy dress dressage/jumping competition! I'm a real child at heart and thought I'd have to get involved! I was looking for santa accessories for horses! Any suggestions? It makes me laugh to think of Louis in that dragon outfit though!
dress louis up as a reindeer - not very original but i bet he'l look lovely with some antlers and bells on his reins, also plait his mane and wrap tinsle round the plaits then secure it with thread!! i did that with bloss for the boxing day meet last year, she looked so cute!
I dressed my 14 yr old daughter up as an elf in red and green and bells and the pony wore a checked red and green xmas table cloth as an excercise sheet with bells on and wore antlers too. My poor daugther has refused to let me manipulate her into wearing fancy dress other than tinsel to the xmas ride ever again as so far I ave had her dressed in full reindeer costume, all stuffed and make of brown fake fur with a reindeer head hat with flashing nose that i managed to stuff onto her hat, she has also been the xmas angel, where both her and her little grey pony at the time had huge wings and loads of lilac and pink tinsel and baubles and battery powered fairy lights. She has however won the fancy dress prize every year she has done it, lol!! I am quite pleased she doesnt want to do it any more as i have lost inspiration and she might have had to go as a toy soldier in a sleigh or a xmas pudding this time!
I've just seen a great santa hat cover for me too! I will be taking lots of piccies! It's amazing that i'm 25 and still excited about a fancy dress party! I think I forgot to grow up!
We had aGeorge and Dragon outfit as children (Homemade) but the dragon was a child and walked while another child sat on pony and was St George and pony was ...........wait for it...........St George's horse. Much kinder I think! We spent hours sewing bits of eggbox on to an old jumper to make dragon's scales!
no bells if your going to be riding for long. One lovely child in a lesson I? was in once wore them the ENTIRE lesson and by the end of it, my pony lunged at hers every time it went past and we all were ready to shoot her!
Poor pony in the dragon suit!! I didn't realise that we're having a christmas competition Katie - must have gone from the yard on sunday before they put it up. Has anyone got any ideas for a costume for a chocolate dun pony? Think we may have to be brave and try and do it sidesaddle although not sure will have any brakes!
