SKL Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 What would you buy for your 8yo girls to decorate horses with for a Christmas parade? :) Where would you order it from? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 How well broke is the horse? How well broke are the other horses in the parade? When we have done Christmas parades the kids have used garland of all colors, strings of small bells or a larger bell, even battery operated Christmas lights. Obviously you need a well broke horse though that will be OK with all of this stuff. They just bought it at the local Walmart or Hobby Lobby stores.

SKL Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 These are horses my kids ride regularly during their weekly horse riding lessons. So I am assuming they are "well broke." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liz CA Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Reindeer headgear can fit on horses. We used this primarily at the TR Center. There is also special paint that washes off. This is all assuming that the horses are bomb proof and tolerant of such antics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ottakee Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I would ask the riding instructor for ideas as she would know the horses the best. We have trail horses which take just about anything you put in front of them but some show horse are more sensitive to things while others are very well broke as they have been exposed to so many different environments. Horses can act very differently in a different and unfamiliar environment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aggieamy Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I obviously misread this thread because I showed up here with lots of great ideas on how to decorate a HOUSE. Reading comprehension fail. *slowly backing out of the thread now* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spryte Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 Ask the instructor for ideas. Growing up, I decorated horses with ribbons, garland, and sometimes I dyed forelocks with wash out hair dye. :) But these were my own horses, so the dye wasn't a big deal. Glitter and stencils would be fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tammi K Posted November 9, 2014 Share Posted November 9, 2014 I obviously misread this thread because I showed up here with lots of great ideas on how to decorate a HOUSE. Reading comprehension fail. *slowly backing out of the thread now* I saw the title, read it, and thought, "Silly me. I thought that said decorate a horse...not a house. I need to read more carefully." So, I re-read it and realized it did say a HORSE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKL Posted November 9, 2014 Author Share Posted November 9, 2014 LOL! I never decorated a horse before either, but doesn't it sound like fun? :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laurel-in-CA Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Paint a skeleton on it, hang some led lights, and call it the nightmare before christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Word Nerd Posted November 10, 2014 Share Posted November 10, 2014 Horse glitter paint and stencils--if it's a dark horse, they could do white snowflakes. I didn't know that was a thing. Off to Google to see what it looks like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
