The games were a nice addition to the horse show. The one the kids were really excited about was the costume contest. With your horse or donkey, dress up together. So yes, this year I can officially add to my resume or list of life's accomplishments sewing for a horse and donkey!!!
Ben knew right away what he wanted to dress up as. He bought a beautiful embroidered two piece navy blue outfit when he was in Morocco and Dadda had a fez hat to top it off. I made two humps to fit over the saddle and tassels for her halter. And poof Lynn was a camel!
Aria had a harder time deciding what she wanted to be. A knight, astronaut and rocket, princess, lots of choices. She decided a mermaid on her....SEA HORSE! lol! I made her a tail skirt over leggings so she could still ride on Percy, shell accessories. We glued shells on tulle and wrapped it around Percy and Aria sat on a dark blue covering.
The other contestants included an officer on an OPP horse, a jockey on a winning horse, a girl dressed in traditional German clothes, Tonto. The kids tied for first, which was perfect for them. Their creativity was rewarded with pride long before the ribbons, but it was a great way to end the horse portion of the day.
