A Fun, Festive Halloween on Horseback

Halloween was a blast this year at Cowgirl Cattle Company in Lynden, Washington. Allison Trimble and Rachel Westby hosted a fun-filled day for over 25 attendees. The girls from the Western Washington University Equestrian Team were there, as well as many of Allison’s clients. The event was even videotaped, so I’m sure Allison’s new website, http://www.coastalequine.com/, will have footage of a variety of activities.

The day started off with the riders wearing various costumes. From vampires to hippies, both horses and riders were all decked out. Working cattle with costumes made it even more challenging. Other events included obstacle courses, a costume contest and a piñata. The horses were pretty good sports about the whole thing.

With prizes, hot chocolate and other various beverages, cookies, cupcakes and candy, it was a regular party! I think everyone had a good time. I certainly enjoyed interacting with everyone!
