Did anyone else see the old man in the "paso fino" group about to lose control of his horse and/or fall off on Mass near the South Park pedestrian signal? I am pretty sure he bumped a car and came way too close to the crowd. people had to leap up from the curb to avoid him.
Other than that, the parade was awesome.

I saw him in the 1000 block, he didn't look like he knew how to ride. Leaning way back, reins really loose and the horse skittering around.

He bout got me, I've been kicked once and that's enough. Those paso fino's had a strange gait.

What's going on with the way the rider's pulling on the bit in the third picture? Something's wrong there.

It's not the same if my hot chocolate isn't icing over.
