Halloween Horse Costume- Henry the Bee- Made by Bricole Reincke
Hey there! My name is Bricole Reincke and I live in Southwest Ranches, where my horse is boarded at Condee Farm.
Henry is a 16.2 hand Westphalian Warmblood horse and is a handful! He has such a sweet demeanor and actually loves being dressed up. One of the Moms at the show was kind enough to take lots of photos and share them.
Posing for another perfect picture :)
The costume for Henry was really simple and easy to make.
The materials that I used to make the body:
On his head is yellow horse bonnet.
And to finish everything off, I wrapped his legs in yellow polos.
My costume was a silly tutu, yellow and black glasses, a "Queen Bee" t-shirt, and yellow wings.
We won! And just before the rain came!
And lastly, here are a couple videos for your viewing pleasure.

Walking out to the arena and ready for the competition.
I'm finally going through my enormous photo library and starting to catalog them in my blog page.
These pictures are from the Condee Farm Halloween Show 2019. Henry and I were a sight to "bee" seen and we won best costume! As you scroll down the page you will see how simple (not to mention, how cost-efficient) the costume was to make. I included the supplies that you will need at the bottom of this post.

Henry is a Stunning 16.2 Westphalian Horse. I'm SOOO Lucky :)
The costume for Henry was really simple and easy to make.
The materials that I used to make the body:
- Yellow Saddle Pad with bumble bee patches ironed on each side
- Felt for the stinger and stripes
- I used safety pins to attach these, so I could easily remove them and use the saddle pad after the show.

Most items were sourced from Amazon. I just can't say enough, how much I love Amazon! It's the most convenient shopping experience. I've included the links below.
DIY Bumble Bee Horse Costume Supplies:
- Yellow Lami-Cell Basic All Purpose Saddle Pad
- Iron On Bumble Bee Patches (one on each side)
- Yellow PRO IRON GEAR Horse Fly Bonnet
- Yellow TGW RIDING Horse Polo Leg Wraps, 4-Pack
- Black Felt (for the stinger the stripes)
- Safety Pins
Looking back, I should have used an elastic piece to make a girth and pin it to the saddle pad, to keep it from shifting while he walked. Live and learn!
For Bricole Reincke's Costume:
- Black and Yellow Tutu Skirt
- Bumble Bee Glasses with Yellow Antennas
- Queen Bee T-Shirt
Since my name is Bricole, many of my friends call me "Bee", so I also bought this hat that you may just want for fun!
Happy crafting!

Very adorable. I wish I could see the videos, but they won't play on mobile.
