Evolution of a zebra

Step 1: Obtain very laid back buckskin horse, who does not care what is done to him. Place masking tape all over your horse. Wave to people who pass on the road and wave to you as if it is perfectly normal for you to be taping your horse up to within an inch of his life.
Step 2: Drown him in halloween hair paint---will wash out with a shampooing, or heavy grooming.

Step 3: Remove tape to reveal pattern
Step 4: Spray paint his face in some pattern because you do not really remember what a zebras face looks like and do not want black paint all over your bling bling headstall that all zebras must wear.Step 5: Do weird things to zebras tail so that it looks more like a zebra tail than a horse tail. I put rubber bands every few inches so that it would be skinny, then left the end loose so it looked more like a zebra. I also banded his mane then doubled the sections over and rebanded them so that the ends stood up and looked zebra-like.

Step 6: Take zebra to costume party/sorting practice and win prize for best costumed horse.

Tomorrow I will post fun pics from the show---demonstrating a sorting zebra, and a zebra's safari guide friends
