History of the Masquerade
A long time ago in the 14th and 15th centuries Masquerade Balls became part of Europe's Carnival season. In the spirit of cirque du celebration villagers would dress up in elaborate masks and costumes and take part in glamorous and elaborate processions and pageants. (Horseshow, anyone?) Later this custom would be adopted by Venetian aristocracy in 16th century Italy where it became part of the royal way of life.
The best part of Masquerade? No one knew who you were! You could be a pauper attending the royal feast or a King come down to enjoy a local street faire.
So the time has come for you to embrace who you really want to be and dress you and your horse for the job you want! Or become totally incognito and make us all wonder who the mysterious stranger is. The more outlandish the costume, the better!
