 | First Place: Circus Elephant Lora C. from Pennsylvania submitted the winning entry of her miniature horse, Bucephalus Hallmark.“This costume earned us first place at the county fair. My husband, Tony, was a good sport and was the “bearded fat lady” of our circus theme. Beau was our “elephant” pulling the tent with my daughter, Rachel being the “clown” squirting water at everyone. My daughter, Jody, was the “lion” being “tamed” by lion-tamer (my daughter, Hayley.) Family friend Matthew was our “stong-arm man,” and I rounded out the group as the “ring announcer.” As you can see in the photo, we even made it on the local news because it was so funny!” |
 | Second Place: Flower and Bumble Bee Susan B. of Texas submitted the second place entry of her Shetland/mini, Godiva.“Godiva is a flower bed and a beautiful little bumblebee rider is about to land on her.” |
 | Third Place: Unicorn and Princess Katrijn W. of California submitted the third place entry of her Quarter Horse, Dude.“Always the princess, now I have my unicorn as well.” |

Horse Costume Class Tips
I love the pinata one! Id love to do a costume that detailed, but I’m going simple and classic this year(: Hopefully I still have a chance to win!
wow i wish my horse would let me do this stuff to him…
I wish clancy would let me do this stuff to. But deff not!!
Looks like fun!
Please vote for Dude the unicorn and his pink princess on the second to last page!
I dont know if i would do that when i get a horse? I dont really like how animals are dressed up in coutumes? I think a horse would try to get the coutume off but it looks unconfortable for a horse or maybe i wrong some horses like it? But i would not do that to my horse.
Some very good costumes, it will be hard to vote.
THE PINATA COSTUME ON THE MAIN PAGE IS SOOO AWESOME! I LOVE IT!!
