BTB: Meet the horses of Hawaii! |  |
| Posted: 26 Mar 2010 01:27 PM PDT Hah! Not really. This horse isn't wearing a grass skirt. This is a patented 1896 vintage fly cover/fly sheet, which, as it happens, is made with Mexican grass and wire.  The idea of covering a horse with grass is amusing, but the author states that he "desires it to be distinctly understood" that the patent encompasses other materials such as fringe. Guess this takes us from the Edwardian era to the twenties! I can't imagine this working on every horse. Riley would be reaching down and tearing off mouthfuls of grass.  |
