This is where it all started - Hank as the dragon. The mask was handmade by my husband over a chicken wire frame, and as you see, the hooves are painted with dragon claws. We added wings to this costume and Phantom was 6th overall at Pinto Worlds with it in 2001!

Going with the driving theme, here is Hank pulling a chariot at one of our barn fun days.

Hank at a show in 1997 in Denver, PA. The Indian items were made by my husband. The best part is that I had a quick change into driving attire for the very next class, and yes, you guessed it - he went in with red paint around his eves and on his body!

Here is my favorite - Hank and Phantom as Batman and Robin, and me as the Joker. Phantom is a yealing here, and took the costume, complete with cape, very well!


Hank as Batman, Phantom as Robin.

Phantom as a two year old, the year "Star Wars: The Phantom Menace" was released. Phantom is Darth Maul, my husband Shane is Qui-Jong, and I am Obi Wan.

Phantom's Darth Maul face!

Phantom, at a different show in his two year old year, borrowing all of Hanks's Indian goodies.

...and not to be outdone by his big brother, here is Phantom with his own chariot!

...and here is Phantom as a bumblebee last fall...
