They might not be as easy to dress as a cat or dog, but some people do love dressing up their horses in costumes. These ten ideas are not just for the horse, but for the owner and rider as well. Costume ideas designed for both you and your horse. In a party environment, costumes and party accessories make the party more interesting.

Popeye the Sailor Man

The cartoon series often ended with Popeye carrying Olive Oyl off, into the sunset. So it is kind of fitting that the horse gets to be Popeye and the rider Olive Oyl

The Incredibles

The only truly Incredible thing here is that the horse owner managed to find a costume in the horse’s size! Or maybe they just stretched around the animal.

Farmyard

No matter how good the costume looks remember to never try and milk a horse! But then again maybe you could milk a horse! I wonder what horse milk tastes like!?

Candy and Chocolate Bars

This costume idea isn’t just sweet looking, it’s also chocolatey as well! If I had this costume idea I would have been the crunch bar.

Toy Story

This is a great costume idea. Obviously Woody and his horse Bullseye. I know the horse being a horse is kind of cheating, but I loved it.

Starbucks

You know your love for Starbucks has gone too far when you go to a horse gymkhana event dressed like your favourite coffee-based beverage!

Little Bo Peep

Anyone who can dress up as Little Bo Peep and put their horse in a sheep costume just has to be on this list. I just hope the horse isn’t too hot underneath all that wool.

Prehistoric

With a Woolly Mammoth for a horse and a cavewoman owner, this is a fancy dress idea that really will go down in history as one of the greatest.

The Flintstones

We have Fred Flintstone and his lovable pet Dino (Dinosaur Dog) I just loved that the horse was really small giving the costume illusion even greater belief.

 SpongeBob

The photo may be a little blurry, but anyone who comes up with the idea of dressing themselves up as Spongebob and the horse as Gary the snail deserves my number 1 spot.
