Horse Costumes?

[Brigitte]

So it is Carnival again and we have a group of about 15 people who are representing the ranch in the Carnival Cabalgata, they have decided to dress as Arabs. Any ideas how to decorate the horse? I don't know which horse I'm taking yet, I asked for a pinto because they were first planning to go as Indians, but they changed ideas. If I don't go with him I'll go with a chestnut (same one as last year if you remember)
I have alot of supplies and still a month so any suggestions?

Shiny flowing fabrics and tassels, like the kind that are used to pull back draperies?

Check out Arabian horse-show websites, they should be able to show you some costume ideas...

Try this -- the pictures are small, but they give the general idea:
