How to ensure your horse is happy wearing fancy dress
Choose accessories you think your horse will cope well with. If your horse is sensitive to noise, the accessories with bells might worry them. However, if they’re used to wearing fly veils, a Christmas version could be the prefect addition.
Always try your outfit before your ride or competition to help desensitise your horse to their new festive accessories.
