Christmas de Caballos Parade

Yesterday was the annual Christmas de Caballos (Horses) parade in Corrales where we live. Betty and I are the 'official' photographers for the horse association that sponsors the parade. Here are some of our pictures from the parade (warning: lots of pictures).

We met with a blogging friend, Lisa, who lives on the other side of the mountain from us. This was her first Christmas de Caballos parade with her horse Apache.

The start of the parade.

Naturally Santa Claus is always the Grand Marshall.

Lots of wagons of all sizes.

And lots of horses and mules, of course.

Including our friend Lisa on Apache.

The parade supports the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program and all the riders bring toys.

Finally, here are those brave volunteers who do all the clean up behind all the horses.

Thanks to all who put this on the parade was a great success.
