Ask AI Equestrian Edition: This Is Halloween

With Halloween being less than a week away, spooky season is will under way. All around us we’re seeing spiders, witches, and cauldrons! So, why not see what AI can design in the way of Halloween?

Happy almost Halloween to our fellow equestrians who enjoy this season and all the spooky fun it brings! To celebrate, we’ve decided to ask AI to generate different images related to the holiday. Here’s what was generated… as, ahem, accurate as usual.

All AI generated photos are from Magic Studio.

First we asked for various backgrounds.

“Horses with a pumpkin background”

“Horse with a spooky background”

“Halloween horse”  (This one is SO bad.)

We then started to ask AI to generate riders in specific Halloween costumes.

“Witch riding a horse”

“Alien riding a horse”

There’s the five-legged horse we were bound to see!

“Pirate riding a horse”

Seems like AI has watched Pirates of the Caribbean… and thinks Johnny Depp is a little cross-eyed.

“Clown riding a horse”

This one is actually quite comical — and might give some of us nightmares.

“Ghost riding a horse”


Is this ghost wearing leather pants?

“Ninja riding a horse”


We’ll give AI this one.

“Zombies riding horses”

“Nurse riding a horse”

“Nun riding a horse”


Ride that five-legged horse, sister!

“Basketball player riding a horse”

“Cheerleader riding a horse”


It’s the pompoms and pink tint to the horse’s legs that got us!

“Beetlejuice riding a horse”

“Joker riding a horse”


Not the joker we had in mind, but AI technically isn’t wrong…his three arms are, though.

“Raggedy Ann and Andy riding horses”


This one is weird.

“Smurfs riding horses”


This one has us howling! Every kid with a pony must dress up like this for Halloween!

“Men in Black riding horses”

“Spice Girls riding horses”

Then we got into the horror characters…

“Scream riding a horse”


Not at all what we were hoping for. Also, the horse’s teeth are extremely concerning.

Let’s try this again. “Ghostface riding a horse”


Closer, but still no.

“Freddy Krueger riding a horse”

“Jigsaw riding a horse”


AI did not understand the assignment.

“Frankenstein riding a horse”

“Annabelle riding a horse”

“Chucky doll riding a horse”


No, AI. Not even close.

“Count Dracula riding a horse”

We could go on and on and on with different costumes riding horses. If you don’t see your costume on the list, comment on social media and let us know what it is! Get spooky, Horse Nation!
