Weird World

This horse is attending the Cheltenham Festival in a three-piece Harris Tweed suit

The world’s first three-piece Harris Tweed suit for a horse has been unveiled, reports the BBC.

Fashion designer Emma Sandham-King created the garment to celebrate horse racing’s 2016 Cheltenham Festival, which starts on Tuesday. The suit, comissioned by William Hill and modelled by the race horse Morestead, required 10 times as much fabric as an equivalent human suit.

Of course it’s not the first time horses have been dressed/humiliated in tailor-made human clothes. Back in 2009 Bavarian designer Hildegard Bergbauer created a series of traditional dirndl dresses for horses.

Expect the horse uprising to begin any day now.
