COSTUMES FOR HORSES

"Hi friends, my name is Ernie and I am the CEO of Sleezy Barb Horsewear.  I would like to share with you some photos of my friends wearing costumes.  I hope this page will provide you with some inspiration of what you can do for that Halloween party or costume class.  If you would like your picture posted here, send me your photo and description."

Executive Assistant, Mindy Sue, is shown wearing her She-Devil costume made from a red flame sleezy. we added a set devil horns that were $.99 at the dollar store. You don't need an expensive costume. Use a sleezy you already have, add some embellishments and, viola!, you have a great original costume.

In Kristen's words..."Here is 7 year old Devyn and her Welsh/Thoroughbred pony, Sadie, at the 2012 Huntingdon Valley Hunt Halloween Show. Devyn is Alex the Lion and Sadie the Marty the Afro Circus Zebra from the movie Madagascar 3. We purchased the white Uni-Body suit and painted the circles on the body with washable paint so we can use the body suit throughout the season. This pair came in second in a very large class! We want to thank you for your excellent product and customer service that was second to none!" You two look amazing and I especially love that wig! You are just too cute! Thanks for sharing your idea with us. We hope it will provide you with some inspiration of how easy it is to make your costume unique and fabulous!

This adorable Hot Pink Poodle costume comes to us from the Sweet Tater Parade in Georgia. Lesley's horse is wearing one of our Sleezy Masks. The rest of the embellishments are made from yarn. Yarn ears with purple bows. Yarn tail.  Knitted/crocheted hot pink vest and poodle puffs on the legs. You can see she even has a diamond studded black collar. Very nicely done, ladies!

It's a bird...no, it's a plane...no, it's SUPERHORSE! Sockett is dressed as Superhorse and is wearing a royal blue Uni-Body Suit. Toni made a red satin cape attached with glitter garland. The garland is used on the brow band of the halter. The legs are wrapped with red polo wraps and topped with gold garland. Toni made her own Superhorse logo using some of the red satin from the cape and attached it to the Uni-Body using heat press-on Stitch Witchery (can be found at Joann's or Wal-Mart in the notions section).

Batman's nemeses, Riddler and Catwoman. We provided the Uni-Body for Susan's mini in Kelly Green and she added the question marks.

Here are some great photos of Dana and her ride from a Mardis Gras celebration. Dana is dressed as a circus announcer and her horse is a giraffe. Her horse is in a stretch Uni-Body and is wearing the Fast Wraps on its legs.

Here is photo from Michele where her daughter and her mini are both dressed as zebras. Michele took first place for these matching costumes. Other cute ideas included "Dressed for Morning Mini" to with left. That mini has curlers in its mane and its handler is wearing pajamas. The mini to the right is a bug complete with antennae.

Linda purchased a red stretch sheet from us for her pony. Linda's granddaughter was Betsy Ross and her grandson was George Washington. The stars on the flag were attached with Velcro so Betsy "sewed" the flag in the arena under the watchful eye of the judge and George Washington. Linda says the "best part that the flag comes off and now we'll use her stretch body suit and hood for the everyday stuff."

Here Kittty, Kitty, Kitty!  This black cat costume for Melissa's miniature horse was made using our black Uni-Body with ear covers (additional cost). Melissa added a tail and whiskers. This costume coordinated with Melissa's witch costume.

911 Rescue Team, Fall Fest, San Diego, CA

This team took 1st Place with their costumes of US Special Forces, Fire Truck, Ambulance, and Police.  They purchased from us a Camouflage Uni-Body for the Army costume and used Stitch Witchery Heat Bond to attach the flag on both sides.  The Fire Truck used a Red Uni-Body, a Red English Saddle

Cover and then the customer used Stitch Witchery to bond on the Fire Dept. Logo.  We made the black and white Uni-Body (for an additional charge) for the Police car, a White English Saddle Cover, and the customer added the police badge and "Protect and Serve" using Stitch Witchery.  Stitch Witchery can be purchased at any Wal-Mart store.  When you are done with your "costume", the attachments can be peeled off and the Uni-Body reused.  For the ambulance, the customer purchased a White Uni-Body, White English Saddle Cover, and we stitched on the Red Cross symbol (for an additional charge). They look FABULOUS don't they?

Here comes Gumby and Pokey!  This fabulous costume was created by Mary O.  We made the orange Miniature Uni-Body and Mary added the black yarn mane and tail, and created the leg coverings with matching fabric we provided her. Let your imagination run wild like Mary did. We'll work hard to get that fabric to make your vision a reality.

Photo from Michelle S. of Midland, MI

Very clever New York City taxi costume designed by Michelle which took 2nd place at the Midland County Fair. Her daughter is a Radio City Rockette and her son a Wall Street Executive.

"Sleezy" Danielle and her mare Calypso are Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf.

Big Bad Wolf Costume.          Who me?? Big and Bad??
Made from fake fur, pink
fleece for inside of ears,
fangs are white lycra
with fiber fill stuffing

"Sleezy" Mikayla and Domino are a Princess and her ride. It is hard to see on the picture but Domino was slathered in red spray-on glitter.

"Sleezy" Jeff is Robin Hood, Men in Tights and pony Mya is "Rent-A-Wreck". Jeff did a great job with his costume and included such accessories as the "Rent-A-Wreck" sign on Mya's butt.  Jeff's inspiration came from the Mel Brook's movie "Robin Hood, Men in Tights".

"Sleezy" Barb and Ernie are The Two Amigos. Ernie is wearing a fleece serape with maracas around his neck, a sombrero and fake moustache. I have a matching fleece serape, guitar on my back, stick-on Poncho Villa moustache and sombrero.
