I love some of these costumes, but the class should be called "Fantasy Costume" Lots of hard work into making those dresses I'm sure. Riding in a dress isn't the easiest thing, either.
Please don't bash the riding or quality of training the horses and riders have...I do know a bunch of the riders and horses in that class, many are trainers. And it's not that any of these horses are bad, stuff happens at shows that is out of the riders/trainers control, different sites, sounds and smells, excitement of seeing and smelling new/other horses, the sites and sounds of the arena, etc. Also, if you have never ridden a friesian, it is not like any other breed. ;) They are so powerful!
AMAZING show friiesies are the black lippizanes But plz ppl :''not ready for that horse, cant ride ,etc'' all that's ignorant and this horse might be young and too exited -she cant help that, even though
Friesian #2 was an awesome horse and the costume the lady wore was beautiful! If only she had kept her sit at 3:15 the audience would have been in awe. The problem was she should have mounted back up on him and finished the class.
Oh my goodness that is seriously funny when the girl looses her wig. Ha ha The horses and the costumes are amazing. Poor girl in the red, not ready for that horse.
Some seem to think they're riding American Saddlebreds. They ruin their horse like that. They should ride them like a Frisian is supposed to be ridden. And what's with the tails dragging through the dirt?? A Frisians tail is supposed to be long, but not touching the ground!!
Also, look at the costumes these people are wearing, how many of your horses would be able to handle the weight and length of the fabric of those dressed and not be a little freaked out, but other ppls costumes blowing behind them...
These ladies look beautiful... but quality training would making things look much much better. I do have to admit that the lady who landed on her feet was a very graceful fall. I would concentrate more on collection and riding than the outfits.
I love these costumes but they would look stupid on my 848lb 14.3 arab... I think he would look ok in those arabain horse costumes but im lookin for a holloween costume not a $500+ real arabic horse costume. anyone know where i could find one or how to make one so it doent look like its made out of sheets
Point 1 get rid of the bits. You could see each and every horse pulling, tugging or frothing at the bit. These are all signs of pain on the horse's part. Point 2 these ladies haven't a clue how to ride with their horse. They are all great at forcing their will on their horse but not working with them. The red lady especially. That horse was spooking like crazy. Which means he didn't understand something. Did she stop and take care of her horse? No she just forced him to continue with something that scared him. When he finally decided he had to much pressure put on him with no release he found his own release. Him rearing and spooking was all her fault. Rick Gore would have a field day with her.
so few breeds can are really majestic enough to make a girl look like a princess on their back... Friesians are at the top of the list

it doesn't mean she's not ready for her horse, stuff happens. You can practice your costume beforehand and it can go differently in the ring.

Yet this is a costume class where the emphasis is on the costume. I've seen these horses and riders in regular classes and they perform just fine.
armor costume the best imo. beats those "princesses" hands down.
