Design? Easy question, little knowledge needed!?

In my science class, our teacher is having us do an “egg drop”.
It is an experiment/lap type thing. (I am sure most of you have probably done something like this before) What you do is:
You get a quart milk container (paper) and an egg. The task is to put the egg inside the container, and drop it from a height of some 45 feet in the air (off the top of the school) and have it land on the sidewalk (concrete) without the egg breaking.
Not only does the egg have to survive the fall, but the carton must be decorated/designed. Here comes the reason that it is in the horse section:
Both my teacher and myself have horses. He loves horses, and, when you do things that have horses in it, always grades them higher. I would like to do my design as something horsey, but I don’t have any idea what!
Does anyone know of anything that I could make a milk carton into?
(Examples of last year are things like helicopters, bird baths [the put a paper plate on the top as the bath part, and it acted like a parachute without being an acutal parachute], and random things like that!
~Parachutes are not allowed, nor are packing material on the outside of the container unless it is used as part of the decoration!
Just give ideas of horsey things, and be creative!! 
Why don’t you try and shape the box like a unicorn, or a horse that has wings, you can then put glitter and things over the wings etc and it will make it look magical. Although when the egg is broken it will stink! But never mind

Or like rearing horses like each side of the box or bucking horses or something
You could make it Pegasus
Draw a horse on the container and paint a person on the egg.
can you use a bunch of sticky tape? If you can then you should wrap the egg in sticky tape and suspend it in the middle of the box with like the sticky tape going from the egg to the walls sort of thing, if you get me? and put heaps of sticky tape on the walls of the box for padding (if you’re allowed to) and paint some horses on the outside or on the egg!
