Can someone help me make a HORSE costume for my BIKE in the next couple of hours!!!

I am probably the least creative person that I know, so take that into consideration.

The head has me a little stumped. What about just a cardboard cut out of a horse profile, with features drawn on? Maybe use some yarn for a mane? Rope for reins and tied to the handle bars? Not sure about how to attach it, although zip ties and duct tape are my go-tos for everything.

Tail: A cheap "cheerleader pom-pom" in black or brown, and zip-tied to the saddle or seat post? Yarn would work too, but probably wouldn't blow around as much.

I love your costume ideas!

Make some hind legs that kind of start off like chicken drumsticks - maybe look at some cartoon horses - can tie these to the chain stays. Similar things can be done for the front.

I like the suggestions for the head - do it from two pieces to make it sturdier and then sandwich the front of the frame in between - may take a little work to make sure you can see.

Totally love the idea of a pom-pon tail!

Can I just say this is awesome???! Please post pictures when you do it!
I wonder if a traditional riding helmet would be race-legal? I can't see why not!

Yee-Haw!

Something easy to do would be to go to a toy store and get one of those stick horses (we used to call them Zee Bee horses, for some reason...hehe). That would make a nice head for your steed.
