We need to hire this guy for a Dermot & Dave Show campaign!

It's Cheltenham week, so what better way to kick it off than to kit a legendary racehorse out in full tweed with a matching flatcap!

Retired champion and Irish jockey legend AP McCoy was on hand to help unveil Morestead wearing the very first tweed suit for a horse.

According to The Irish News,  Bookmaker William Hill asked former Alexander McQueen apprentice Emma Sandham-King to create the unlikely outfit.

Ms Sandham-King and her team of seamstresses and tailors spent four weeks making the suit, using more than 18 metres of tweed shipped from the Isle of Harris in the Outer Hebrides, Scotland.

They needed 10 times as much fabric as a human suit.

One issue - He might split the arse of it on a big jump.
