Some of us make simple "costumes" for Parades. We usually cover the
bridle and reins with fabric or have a larger fancy saddle pad or
flowers around the horses neck.
A friend dressed as Raggedy Ann and her horse was Andy. She used a
pair of old denim pants to fashion a pair of shorts for her horse's
front legs. They attached to his breastcollar. She made leg wraps in
a stripe for "socks". A child's Sailor Hat attached to his bridle at
the top of his head completed his costume.
Here we are at the Hambletonian Parade in NJ as Tropical Riders. It was
JULY. Notice I have a banner on the side of my horse and am riding
sidesaddle. My husband and his horse have flowers. We are wearing
shorts. Not everyone dresses so silly. ( See the woman behind us?
She is in standard Western Show Attire. Her horse is some sort of
Champion.)

Medieval reeenactors make costumes for horses - it gets called barding
(if it isn't armour).
