snuggy hoods

[Bettyboo222]

In snuggie hoods , does one side of the rug come under and round the horses belly ? I want to use that sort of design for a costume I am making. If anyone has a pic of a snuggie hood ( when its not on a horse) they will be appreciated.

don't have a photo, but the belly section is attached to the main rug in between the horses front legs and then you velcro up both sides

Oh that makes more sense. I'm trying to make a dalmation costume

*grins* Of course! What else would it be for?

 

[Bettyboo222]

Thanks for the picture . I get some very strange looks when I say that its for a costume. I am being cruella deville

 

[Mrs B]

That explains it, then! Promise to post the pics please!

I will promise , Last year I went in my dressing gown and dressed the pony up as a bath. But he spooked at it and managed to snap the the tie trying to get away from it :-s, needless to say I came last

Poor you - but I did laugh! I had a horrid experience accompanying a boat, whereby the pony sidestepped every time the commentator spoke into the microphone - which was a lot as he was waffling while the 2 elderly lady judges went and spoke to every child about their costume. Poor pony, usually bombproof, had never been in that close proximity to a loudspeaker (was at our corner of the arena)

Are you dressing as Cruella then?

 

[Bettyboo222]

Yeah, I'm just trying to work out the actual costume design. Not sure whether I should do a suggy hood sort of thing and put the pattern across the belly or justa normal rug with a neck bit and bandages.

Long time ago I was meant to be dressed as an elf to lead Santa Klaus on a display. checked everything but hadn't taken into account 2 important things.

1. Not a chance in hell of putting bells anywhere near my horses ears.
2. Santa was being pulled on a sleigh by a shetland. Cue horses 2 hates - small ponies and horses pulling carts.
3.Santa's lead elf exited very quickly out of the school and ended up having to bring up the rear... a long way from Santa and sadly lacking with any bellls...

I managed to give my RI a bit of a scare when suddenly there was a loose horse running round with half a cardboard bath hanging off him
