Witch/Wizard

The most traditional but arguably the best costume for Halloween must be the witch or the wizard! Simply accessorise your horse’s daily look with a pointed hat and drape with cobwebs for a creepy twist in the day-to-day. When you ride, grab a mini broomstick instead of a crop!

Unicorn

Grab all the glitter and transform your horse into a unicorn! Although it’s not super scary, this costume has all the fun of any other costume on the market.

All you will need for this costume is lots of glitter and a clip on horn. Apply hoof glitter to the hooves, spray their body, mane and tail with glitter spray, then finish with a clip-on horn and you’re away! If your riding, clip the horn to your horse’s brown band, otherwise you can clip the accessory into their forelock!

If you’ve got some extra time on your hands, grab some hair tinsel and start plaiting. Incorporate these sparkly strands into mane and tail plaits for the ultimate unicorn look!

FEELING ARTISTIC?

You can use paint to create multiple designs on your horse, virtually creating them into any character you like, or adding extra features to costume ideas. By just using paint you can create traditional ideas such as a zombie, a skeleton, or a clown.

Devil

For the cheeky, mischief-making ponies on the yard, bring their alter-egos to life with a menacing devil costume.

A red Snuggy Hood would make the perfect accessory, covering the ears to look like devil horns. If your horse is unsure of this overhead design or you want a more rideable costume, try a red fly veil! Finish the look with a red exercise sheet or red fleece rug, and let your horse’s personality do the rest of the talking.
