Meet Leanne, a 40-year-old
Australian website designer who loves dressing up like a horse. She goes by the
name ‘Shyanne’ in her pony get-up, which includes a saddle, bridle and bit.
Once the transformation is complete, she likes to trot about and pull her
friend Grace behind her in a custom-made trap.
Each of her ensembles costs
anywhere between £5,000 and £10,000 (that’s $8,000 to $16,000). “Once the bit’s
in, the tongue is out so you’re not speaking,” she explained. “If you drool while
wearing a bit, you’ve got to be wearing the wrong-size bit.”
As bizarre as it sounds, Leanne
insists that behaving like a horse is fun and that it takes her to a wonderful
place where she can relax and be herself. “When I’m in the pony gear, I feel freer,”
she said. “It’s about who you are, it’s about expressing yourself. I become
me.”
