The practice involves dressing both equines and their human counterparts in coordinated or themed outfits for celebratory events centered around October 31st. This can range from simple decorative elements applied to the animal, such as themed saddle pads or horn adornments, to elaborate full-body ensembles. Similarly, the rider’s attire may complement the horse’s, creating a unified visual presentation.
Such activities foster a sense of community and creativity among equestrian enthusiasts. Participation in these costumed events encourages bonding between horse and rider through shared experiences. Furthermore, the tradition provides opportunities for showcasing horsemanship skills and artistic expression within a festive context, contributing to the vibrancy of equestrian culture and traditions.
