Lebanon Carriage Parade





We took Cullen to his first horse parade last night. With the amount of layers he had on, there wasn't a chance he was going to get cold either. It wasn't too bad with the mass of people all huddled on top of each other. Cullen waved at all the people in the parade and yelled "Merry Tismas". Too cute.




"I can't move...."


(bird's eye view from daddy's shoulders)

There were over a hundred carriages in the parade being pulled by anything from Clydesdales to Shetlands. Most of them decorate (and light up) the carriages and horses. Very pretty at night. Unfortunately, the big team of Clydesdales were not there, but there was a team of 6 and a couple of pairs, so Cullen got to see those.


(I may have a few more pics, gotta lighten them up first to see what is in the darkness)

Entry # 77A had a small incident though, he took the turn a little toooooo wide and ran into the curb, and the crowd of people there and began rearing up on his back legs. Kinda scary, but we believe everyone was ok. No emergency personnel was called in and they got the horse calmed down and on his merry way.
