Linda's old man Thumper dressed up as a reindeer. He had a reindeer headband for horns, and a Christmas stocking and a nice Xmas blanket for a sheet--and some ornaments in his mane. He was quite festive!
Gyro was so corny, no one got her, but they laughed when they figured out who she was. You cannot really see much of her decoration in this pic
Here you can see a few more---she had knives all over her. She had machetes, and a scythe, and a dagger, and a cleaver--all the kinds of knives I could think of, hanging off of her all over---even from her chinstrap for a while. She sorted like that as well---not much phases this one either.
Barry is part of her costume, but you cannot really tell until you see what was in his pockets--he had some Xrays of her hocks, and a training bill for an obscene amount, and some syringes, ....
can you guess what she was?
No? Not many people could. Then they rolled their eyes when we told them
Any ideas??????
She was a CUTTING HORSE!
Ha ha hahaha ha

More costumes
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
