Bony bareback: Raven the horse has been turned into a 'Skeleton Horse' to celebrate Halloween

   In 2011, Ms.Cramer from Rockbridge, Ohio entered a Halloween photo contest on Facebook. Obviously, she won. Instead of going down the worn-out road of witch hats and cheesy horse costumes, Ms. Kramer had another idea. Using non-toxic and safe white paint, she painted her horse Raven's whole body. She used pictures of horse anatomy to put every bone where it should be and spent about 3 hours a day in the weeks leading up to Halloween completing this equine masterpiece. The "Skeleton Horse" has become so popular, that Raven has worn the costume for 4 years straight. I think it's amazing how someone was creative and crazy enough to paint their horse. I would love to do this to my horse, but he's white. Hopefully I will be painting the black outlines of the bones on him soon enough. I think that this amazing and unexpected costume will change the way equestrians celebrate Halloween. I think it would work on all colors and breeds of horse's because of the variety of hues that the paint comes is massive. This costume alternative is low-cost, a definite contest winner, and an amazing addition to any horse for Halloween. All anyone needs to do this to their horse is paint, a brush, and patience!
