Costume contest for horse and rider

[Racetrackreject]

I sponsored the costume contest at a local Playday series this past weekend and some of these guys were pretty creative, so I thought I would share some of the photos.

The Pinata won, the Wizard of Oz was second, and the little gypsy was People's Choice.

Very creative, they all great! I'd bet I thought was a fun day for everyone. The horses look so relaxed!

That pinata is hilarious! Love it when folks aren't afraid to decorate the equines! One time I went as a doctor, wearing scrubs, bonnet, booties, mask. I attached syringes (minus needles, of course) to my gelding's mane and he too wore a surgical bonnet. Lots of fun!

They are all winners. How fun and creative!

This is a great idea!! I'll have to remember it for next year.

Thank you. It was a really fun class, and I'm already thinking about sponsoring it again next year. This was my 2nd year to be a sponsor and it was just so much fun. The winners won photo packages and, of course, treats.

This looked so much fun for both you and the participants

I'd also vote for the piñata for first...

Have to admit a bit of a at the young lady standing in her stirrups with no helmet

Also liked your watermark; can't miss it. I struggle with making it big in an attempt to deter snitchers or just leave it small and hope at least I get some credit

That is my friend's daughter and she was a "trick rider" for the costume contest. It's a western culture thing I've found, to not wear helmets although people are starting to do it some.

Thanks. That HUGE watermark was because I put those on Facebook. I'm doing a smaller one in my galleries. Like this-
