Dressage Peacock

The pony went to his first under saddle show two weekends ago. He managed a decent second place in both his dressage classes and then took first place in the costume class. We were stopped by at least 10 groups of people to take pictures with him in costume. He was such a good boy, especially since they told us the wrong information for the costume class so he ended up having to spend an hour standing around in the full costume waiting for the class to start.

So, I get that he is a peacock, but what was the harness about?
What was the name of the entry?

I had to use the harness to attach the peacock tail. There was so much wind resistance with the tail being upright that I had to stabilize it using several wires connected to various places on the harness. I didn't have a name for the entry.

Great! And what exactly did you do with his mane for the dressage? Looks like braids with a button on the bottom.

I don't know if the mane style has a name. I sort of made it up as a way to avoid ever having to do the little braid things ever again.
