A horse in a three-piece suit is upping the style stakes ahead of Cheltenham

The tweed ensemble took four weeks to make.

ONE HORSE IS gearing up for a stylish week in Cheltenham after getting fitted with a special tweed suit.

Yes, you read that right. A horse in a suit.

The three-piece ensemble was made from 18 metres of Harris Tweed and designed by former Alexander McQueen apprentice Emma Sandham-King.

Take a break and watch veteran racing horse Morestead model the outfit with a little help from Sir Anthony McCoy.

    Auction it off for charity afterwards…

    It’s not like the horse can be seen next year in the same outfit.

    Trust Me I’m A Stomach is a good each way bet in the 2.15 on Wednesday, tho’ Massive Bereavement should win it. As on outside bet I’d say Zena Badawis 20 Motels in the Gold Cup. She likes it firm underfoot.

    Ah Cheltenham, a glorious chance for self employed Irish tax dodging criminals to cut their losses and pass it on to their future customers. Sure didn’t Ahern claim a fortune this way?
