Fancy dress ideas anyone?!

[ladywiththebaby]

My daughter is taking the pony we borrow to a show on Sunday and there is a Fancy Dress class. I have never done that or even seen one but sounds like fun. Does anyone have any good but easy ideas for a palomino pony and a creatively challenged mother?!!!

Either what fancy dress outfits does she already have, or have you asked her what she wants? Thats the easiest way for ideas usually

Hmm she has lots of Disney princess outfits but the only one with trousers is Jasmine (but then has a cropped top which will be a bit chilly!!)

Other than that we have a Chinese outfit, a vet, a wedding dress, a witch.....

Nothing is giving me inspiration for the horse though?! Don't you have to dress the horse up too - or not?!

When I was persauded to do fancy dress last minute at a charity show I went to a fancy dress shop, picked up a load of cheapy bright coloured stuff and came up with this....

If she will be leading the pony put her in vets outfit and put bandages everywhere plus a few sticking plasters on pony plus sign saying 'he/she needs personal vet'

Oh I love both of those!!!!! I have a load of fluorescent stuff from an 80s do and I have a toy vet kit too!!!

Thank you so much!!!!:bounce:

What about Teddy Bear's Picnic? Many (many!) years ago I dressed up as this. I wore a bear outfit- think we got it from a fancy dress shop but you could dress her in brown and fashion some ears and paint on a nose and whiskers. Pony was draped in a piece of checked cloth (picnic blanket would work) which had some paper plates, cups etc glued to it. We came first and I was soooo proud! No pics I'm sorry as it was way before digital photos!

Good luck!

I can't beat that last one, but since pony is Palomino how about going as Roy Rogers and Trigger?
