The Present Costume:

Things you will need:

*Rope

*Ribbons

*Breastplate

*Black Bell Boots (or none)

*Cardboard

*Paint

*Christmas Halter

Step One. Cut four pieces of cardboard. Two long sides (for the horses’ side) and two short ones (for the chest and rump).

Step Two. Paint the pieces of cardboard; decorate it in your own style. Wait for the paint to dry!

Step Three. Cut holes in the cardboard and string rope through the side pieces. Then wrap them under the belly.

Step Four. Get a breastplate, or piece, then cut holes through them. Make a loose loop around the neck, attaching the rope to the cardboard to stabilize it. Then with the hole on the rump piece, string a rope through, and loosely tie it to the neck as well. This forms the body. Make sure the ropes are loose, but tight enough so they won’t drag. Decorate the halter too!

This is a safe and ideal costume; feel free to add ribbons and your own touches to change it up a bit!

The Reindeer Costume!

Things you will need:

*Reindeer horns

*A red or brown halter.

*Black Bell Boots (or none)

Add any touches to your horse, like a blanket to make him brown, ECT. Be creative!

The Santa Costume

Things you will need:

*A red Santa hat

*A red halter.

*These costumes are designed for Christmas parades. They’re fun and easy to make, most of the things people have already in their homes, except ribbons or a certain coloured halter! Please try to note that these costumes may vary. They may not turn out the best. But for best results try doing it with another person.*
