      PASADENA – ColoradoBoulevard.net:

      The Pasadena Tournament of Roses announced 18 outstanding equestrian groups to ride in the 135th Rose Parade themed “Celebrating a World of Music.”

      By News Desk

      Since the start of the Tournament of Roses in 1890, the Equestrian units have played a key role in the Parade and its surrounding festivities. In 2024, they will showcase a variety of horse breeds that entertain and highlight their majesty and poise. Each unit promises a unique blend of skills and dazzling costumes, adding an extra layer of charm to the festivities.

      Three units are participating in their first Rose Parade, from horses that square dance to award-winning cowgirls and police horses who bring joy to children’s hospitals.

      The Equestrian units make a lasting impression and this fantastic lineup will complement the floats and bands that will journey down Colorado Blvd. on New Year’s Day.

      In addition to riding the five-and-a-half mile Rose Parade route on Monday, January 1, 2024, these equestrian groups are invited to take part in Equestfest on Friday, December 29, 2023, at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center. During Equestfest, groups perform their best tricks, drills, dancing and roping skills, and attendees can walk through the stables and meet and greet with the riders and horses.
