Oct 4, 2009: Dirndl Dresses

It is the traditional outfit worn by thousands of women in Bavaria and recognisable throughout the world - but now horses are getting in on the act.
Dirndl dresses have become a must-have outfit for horses who want to look good in the field.
Bavarian designer Hildegard Bergbauer, who usually creates dirndl dresses for women, has branched out and makes the outfits for not only horses but also cats and dogs.

So guys, if you go to Bavaria's Octoberfest, don't let the beer goggles fool you. ;)

A stark reminder that some things are just wrong, wrong, wrong! ;);)

Did they dress the mare in a thong too?

It's all a ruse to attract those lonely farmers after a hard day in the fields.

I wouldnt' be caught dead riding a horse in a dress. As a matter of fact, the only thing in a dress in that picture worth riding is the woman holding the reins.;)

Dressage is recognized by the Internatianal Olympic Committee as an equestrian sport, after all. ;)

Brings a whole new meaning to the term "horse riding."

A designer dress for a horse...

Next thing you know, Hildegard Bergbauer will be designing dresses for the Spanish PM's daughters...

So Hildegard has never watched a horse for more than 10 minutes I'm guessing.
Wonder what's left of that git up after a few minutes of rolling.

Stupidest thing I've heard/seen today. But, then again, I haven't been up that long, and, no, I haven't looked in the mirror...
