Where my Halloween costume went



Category: Pets and other animals | Posted: Tue Oct 30, 2007 5:54 pm

Our riding club had a small do with dressage and jumping last spring, and I wanted to participate. But the nerves I had! So I thought up a good idea that would make me feel OK and give the spectators a laugh. I found my carrot/pumpkin costume and started in that.

As you can imagine, the judges put me on last place, deeming me a danger to both myself and others, but I did it, which was the main goal. I even got an extra rosette for being me. After a day at the stables my costume was beyond salvation, and I've never gotten round to making a new one.

This is what it looked like:

Hi Droopy, glad to finally put a face with the name. It is really great that you met the challenge with a light heart and a laugh.

Your horse is beautiful too.

Nice to meet you Droopy, don't you look fetching in orange :)

I look like a giant on that poor horse. :lol: But I'll blame it on the costume. I like orange, yellow, red, green and other bright colours on my tops and I wear them disregarding fashion.

You look like you had a lot of fun Droopy!
Your horse is beautiful.

Hiya - lovely to 'neet' you!!! What a great idea for getting rid of nerves and having a laugh!! I do soooo love a person with a wonderful sense of humour.

Thank you all. I had fun, and it shows. I'd like to know what the horse thought, though.

Oh I don't know, in that second photo that horse is clearly laughing right along with you!
