Tie the wide satin sash around your waist to cover the seam where the horse body meets your torso.

Tips
- If using an inflatable costume, bring extra AA batteries for the fan to ensure it stays inflated all night.

- Practice walking through doorways beforehand, as the horse hindquarters make your profile significantly wider.
- Keep the top lightweight since the lower half of the costume can trap heat.
