Veteran race horse Morestead upped the style stakes for this year's Cheltenham Festival in the UK by modeling the world's first Harris Tweed suit designed for a race horse.

Complete with a flat cap and tie, Morestead modeled the dashing three-piece suit alongside champion jockey AP McCoy.

Bookmaker William Hill commissioned Emma Sandham-King,  former apprentice of the late London designer Alexander McQueen, with making the horse-sized suit.

It took four weeks to make and used up more than 18 meters of tweed, about 10 times the amount needed for a human-sized suit.

Britain's Cheltenham Festival, a horse racing event held each year in the western English county of Gloucestershire, kicked off Tuesday.
