We can curry and brush our horses all day long, but nothing adds sparkle to your horse's coat like actual glitter. Even if your horse still has a long way to go shedding out his winter coat, you can still have some fun with making him shine. And what better way to enjoy your pony during a gray early spring day?

Before you begin, it's time to head to the store to pick up some supplies. You don't need much-just loose glitter, hairspray, and clear glue.
Optional items include adhesive rhinestones and glitter glue for extra dazzle.
Prepare Your Base
Before you begin, give your horse a thorough grooming. The cleaner your surface, the better your results will be. Give your horse a good curry and brush and use a damp rag to remove any remaining dust.
