How to Make a Balloon Horse

One of the most basic requests when making balloon animals is for a horse. While the horse can be a complicated animal to make, you can definitely learn how to make one using a few simple techniques.

Instructions

Difficulty: Challenging

1. Have the right equipment before you start making your balloon horse. You need a professional quality balloon that won't break when you are manipulating it.
2. Start with making the ears of the balloon horse. The ears should be approximately one and a half to two inches long, and each should be exactly the same size.
3. Create the body by twisting off two 4-inch segments of the balloons. The body of the balloon horse is the biggest feature of this balloon animal.
4. Make a pair of front legs for your balloon horse. The legs should be about three inches long, and each should be the same size.
5. Do the same for the back legs by creating matching 3 inch long legs. All 4 legs should be equal size. If the size is off, you should start anew.
6. Use the remaining balloon as the tail for the horse. A good trick is to tie the tail around the back two legs. Doing so locks the back 2 legs into place.
7. Add hooves to the bottom of the legs. You can also add some additional twists in the body to make the appearance of a mane.
