Horsey Halloween Costumes

Sandy Cramer Painted a Skeleton Costume onto her Black Horse

Halloween enthusiast Sandy Cramer painted a costume on her beautiful black horse this year. Raven (Cramer's horse) was painted to resemble a skeleton. Pet owners will often dress up their dogs or cats for Halloween, but painting a horse is pretty much unheard of.

White bones were painted on the horses legs, and ribs were painted across her sides. Most of the horses face was covered in white, so that it would resemble a skull. This transformation took Cramer about five hours to complete.

Cramer incorporated her undead horse into her own costume, by dressing herself up as the headless horseman and riding Raven around.

This eerie stallion is hard to look away from. Cramer's spooky skeleton horse puts other pet costumes to shame.
