My mare was born on St. Patricks day?

yyyyzz: Not all breed registries follow this rule, and even if they do, many owners do like to keep track of and celebrate their own horse's real birth date. There is nothing wrong with it. Yes, animals do not know what date is on the calender or keep track of their own birthdays, but it doesn't hurt anyone to spoil your pet for one day a year, so lay off.

You could use green glitter on your horse's face, mane and tail. Use a shamrock stencil to create a shamrock quarter mark. Get her a leprechaun hat to wear, a green halter, bell boots and leg wraps. You could also decorate a sheet to look like a leprechaun outfit, and you could braid green, yellow, white and orange ribbons in her hair. When dressing her up for costuming, try not to do too many things at once. Choose a handful of costume items that you want to do and execute those well. This will make the costume look well-thought and not too busy/tacky.

Here are some cute pictures of st. Patrick's day horse costumes for ideas:

Google has many more to offer for inspiration.

My chickens were hatched on St. Patrick's day.

The green streamer sounds like a fun idea. I really don't like the idea of painting and stuff, it's cute but it's just... meh. Tacky, you know? Overdoing it.

I'd take her out to a great big green field for pictures. Even if it's not on her birthday, if you can find a day that's clear blue skies, that'd be nice. As a tip though, take pictures in the morning or evening (between/around 9-10am and 4-5pm) when the lighting is best.

you could fishtail braid the streamers on her tail or put green dye on it (the hairspray stuff that comes out when you wash it) if you have green polo wraps you can use those, green saddle pads, use horse hoof polish stuff to paint the hooves green, weave green streamers onto the halter, paint maybe a shamrock onto her shoulder. i hope this helped

All horses born in the Northern Hemisphere birthday falls on January the first and in the Southern Hemisphere on August the first. Just a note. The horse does not care anyway. No concept of birthdays and/or parties. Could hate all this "dressing up".

Peace.

I know a colt born on the first day of spring...he is turning 2 this year and we are throwing him a Hawaiian themed party. :P

OK??
