Absorbine Photo Challenge: 18 Totally Inappropriate Barn Outfits
If the shoe fits …
For this week’s Absorbine 24-hour photo challenge, we wanted to see your best worst barn outfits: you know, the ones that break all the rules of good horsemanship, the rules of fashion and the rules of the physics of dirt. And as usual, you guys delivered. We broke this week’s finalists down into a two subcategories (“Wedding” and “Just Plain Wrong”) and named a Best of Show.
Wedding

DeAnne Moore: “Had to have my horse in my wedding pics, despite the muddy winter conditions 02/17/13”

Brittany Hook Bromage: “That time I rode in my wedding dress! My normally fractious mare was surprisingly okay with it!”
Just Plain Wrong

Allison Whitson: “Stopped by BEFORE WORK wearing black velvet and mary janes. In less than 12 hours since the last grooming, my horse looked like a diseased yak AGAIN, so I spent a few minutes making these nice haircakes (and getting white fur all over the velvet, and anointing myself with eau de stinky cheval, before heading to the office).”

Sheryl MacMahon Savino: “Barn checks at Pony Club Camp, shhhhhhhhh. At least Toffee is barefoot too!”

Susan Kennon: “Been wearing boots all week to protect my dumpy ankle. Its well over 80* out and I did the unspeakable and wore sandals out to the pasture. She has broken many a toe so I know the risks.. But just wanted to give the haflinger a few scratches before retreating to the ac. She obviously doesn’t care and just rooted for good bits of food. I had a greater chance of her mistaking it for a mini carrot than stepping on me.”

Allison Howson: “For the record those are like 3″ heels. Let’s remember horse showing is all about looking good. I was really putting in my best effort here”
