Happy Halloween! Are you and your horse celebrating by dressing up in costume this year?

In last week’s online poll, we asked our readers if they would be attending a Halloween-themed horse show or event this week and if their horses would be donning a costume. More than 300 people responded and we’ve tallied the results!

Of the 336 respondents, 34 (10%) said they planned to attend a Halloween show or event and would be in costume. Another 31 people (9%) planned to attend a Halloween show, but were going to skip the costume, and the remaining 271 respondents (81%) did not plan to attend a Halloween horse show or event.
