Any suggestions for a horse costume?

I just don't have any good ideas. I don't want to terrify the other horses so really scary is out. I have a cape and mask for me and a lot of hair spray paint and garland for the horses.

I lost some of the garland and feather boa during last year's hunter pace. things were flying off all over the place.:doh: We looked like hansel and gretel leaving a trail behind us.

I just threw Copper's picture in because it is so doggone cute! He had lost his orange hunting vest and this was the only orange shirt I had (must wear orange during hunting season).

oh what great costumes! Copper looks good in orange.

I am not creative so I do not have any suggestions....I will leave that to the experts!

I just "dressed" him in halloween stuff last year and entered as a halloween decoration. We have to drive about 1.5 hours from the house for the hunter pace and I don't want to spend more than an hour "dressing" him....

He has to be able to run an 8 - 12 mile race in his costume. We are allowed to leave pieces behind during the race. The horses behind me might not be happy though.

He could be a party animal. I have beaded christmas tree garland that could be his mardi gras beads and get him a multi-colored wig.

Alpo boy? Not everyone would get the humor in that one and rattling cans would probably cause many Lippizan moves for me and others.:doh::uhoh:

Not a ghost - the sheet would jsut be TOO scary.

Anybody out there have some ideas?
