Costumes with Class

When we visited our adopted state of New Mexico in July we went to a local horse show. (Thanks for inviting us Linda!) All the flavor of rural New Mexico was there at the fairgrounds in Estancia.

The costume class was first class!

Miss Liberty was decked out in red, white and blue...



A torch and a tattoo!



The Appaloosa named "Spot" (really!) proudly carried the Native-American-dressed-gal around the arena. It was hard to tell which of them was having more fun.



I really can't remember the judge's pick for the blue ribbon. In my book though, using a minimum of costuming and a great sense of humor, this little guy took the class.



Riding his mule he was, of course, costumed as a "mule deer"!
