Ladies, you love a well-dressed man, right? Well, what about a well-dressed horse? Morestead, a veteran racehorse, has donned a three-piece tweed suit, including shirt and tie. He’s even wearing a flat cap. As impressively dapper as he looks, Morestead isn’t dressed like this just to please his admirers.



The outfit, commissioned by William Hill, was designed by Emma Sandham-King. “Creating the world’s first tweed suit for a horse has been one of the biggest challenges that I have faced in my career as a designer. We have used 18 meters of genuine Harris Tweed to create the head turning fashion garment,” Sandham-King said in a statement, Mashable reports.

Morestead’s suit was unveiled by 20-time racing champion Sir Anthony McCoy in the video below in celebration of this year’s Cheltenham Festival, a racing event possibly known as much for its tweed as it is for its horses. What better way to celebrate than to combine the two?
