Michael Corrie, from Indiana, is a brewer, a cosplayer and a huge Star Wars fan. He is such a huge fan that he made a full-on AT-AT costume at home. He did not make that costume for himself but for his Clydesdale horse named Moana who weighs around 2000 pounds. He made sure that his horse has a helmet with the costume as well.

According to Corrie it took him approximately 5 months and over 700 hours to start and finalize the costume for his horse. The costume with the helmet mostly consists of PVC pipes, foam exercise mats, and tapes. He did not make anything out of metal because then it would have been difficult for his horse to carry it.

Corrie made sure that his horse was comfortable with the whole idea and concept. Weigh of the costume was considered first thus, foam and PVC pipes were used. There were a lot of fittings and refitting, but the most important part was the initial start of the project. Corrie had already decided that if Moana would be stressed even a bit with this whole thing he would abandon the whole project.

Corrie is not doing this just because he is a huge Star Wars fan but also because if he sets a record of the same he will be rewarded. Guinness World Record has a category in which this whole project of Corrie’s fits. There is specifically a category named as “largest Equine Star Wars costume,” under which Corrie is trying to win.

With a bare fee of $1000 Corrie entered the contest and is now competing against many competitors. Corrie is pretty sure that he can win the contest since his horse is comfortable with the whole project which is very important for the project to be a success. Also, the costume is very light and comfortable for the horse. Thus, it is very easy for the horse to carry it.

Not only that the costume is very impressive and appropriate in size. As of now, it is very hard for Corrie to believe that something more impressive, bigger and better would be made in the competition of what he has made. Corrie is not only living his fantasy life of Star Wars but also making money and setting world records with the help of it.

One should check out the costume Corrie made for sure. It is very rare in today’s world that people follow their dreams and complete their fantasies especially when it comes to movies such as Star Wars.
