Here's how it works:
Place your bids here on this thread for the costume, proceeds to benefit Sunkissed Acres rescue. Auction will end at 10:00 pm, Sunday, August 21. High bidder to send their money to Sunkissed directly. When Sunkissed notifies me that payment has been received, I will contact the winner and arrange to have the costume mailed to them. Winner to pay actual postage (with the USPS new one rate boxes, it shouldn't be much).
Description of this costume:
Arabian Native Costume designed by Kostumes by KVu. One of the last costumes designed by Kathy Vu before she retired. This costume is a lovely silver velvet with turquoise and black accents. It has hundreds of crystals, sequins and traditional cowrie shells and is absolutely unique. You will never see another like it in the show ring.
The blanket is lined with a sweat resistant lining and should fit a horse from 14 - 16 hands. Breast piece can be adjusted. The blanket is silver velvet trimmed small black tassels and in 8" metallic silver tassels with black & turquoise accent pieces covered in sequins, cystals and cowrie shells.
Bridle has two sets of reins and is adjustable to fit most. The horse's crown piece is removable. Kathy uses commercial grade velcro for the browband and noseband to that you can fit it exactly and then stitch it down - or use it on different horses. The bit and reins are attached with small snap hooks for ease and convenience.
Rider's costume should fit just about anyone from small person (person wearing it in photo is a size 8) to about a size 18, maybe larger. It consists of the black velvetine coat trimmedin turquoise and black with sequins, and black drawstring trousers and shirt. Headpiece veil is a lovely sheer black material with blue/turquoise metalic threads and can be worn in several different ways - with the crownpiece or without.
The blanket can be used under or over a saddle. We are leaving the blanket uncut for stirrup leathers so that you can decide how you want to use it with your saddle. If you want to put it over the top of the saddle, just place it on your saddle and mark where your stirrup leathers need to come through. Then take it to any seamstress to have them cut the slot for you - or do it yourself. It is not difficult.
The costume is new. It was put on only for photos and the horse was draped with a sheet underneath to protect it. The rider wore t-shirt and tights under the rider's costume to protect it. We placed it on more than one horse so you can see how it looks on different colored horses. Note that when it was on the black Arabian, it was not finished. Additional decoration was done later to the blanket on sides and rump.
Let the bidding begin!
