Costume Class Questions and Ideas,Please

[Serendipity]

After all the talk about the rules is got me thinking.I have really one 1 horse for show this yr :shock: .I retired my Western Horse and gave him to my Fiancé. and I still have my finger crossed that someone will buy this Gelding :smile: .
So that only leave me with Prueba to show I already show in Country Pleasure and I plan to try Trail(if side passing improves ;-) )
But I thought I'd try Costume maybe but I have trouble find much info mostly I don't know where to look or have any Ideas.
Could someone help with Ideas :idea: Please?
I though some thing to do with Christmas but not sure of the tradition I really don't want to do a dress because I'm not the prettist thing in the world :tongue :bsmile .
I though about the Mischief Masks but can't find lots of info and the Maskes look a bit scary.
Well heres me and my horse
I know I know :PICS

For PFHA classes...the costume has to be of Colombian, PR or "Spanish" type heritage. It is not like an open costume class where you can dress up your horse like a zebra for example... you might want to peruse the on-line ruel book at PFHA.org

Several ladies here have great photos of their Spanish dresses...Heidi, Leigh P sews them....... somebody post some....I will go and get one from Nationals and post it here soon...

Well, whatever you do, don't choose anything practical, adventurous, or original- you can be Queen Isabela, a princess of some sort, or something pretty, but nothing "common" ;-) .

Yes, Heidi's costume (even if it WAS Isabela) SHOULD have gotten MUCH higher in the colors, though, to be completely fair.
