MINI JUNE...POD...20 Expire[d]...Riderless horse

Cheers

I am the person in the photo leading the colt. He's actually in training to be a drill horse when he grows up. This was his first parade. I saddled him so that he knew he was working. If it was a riderless horse, there would of been boots placed backwards in the stirrups, as suggested by Dancinirish90. I apologize for any confusion. But am happy to report we're all fine and riding hard!

Beautiful shot! Don't they sometimes have empty boots backwards in the stirrups too? Or does that mean something else?

MINI JUNE...POD...20 Expire[d]...Riderless horse

Share

6-20-10...A riderless horse that is saddled and is being led in a parade usually signifies that the rider has EXPIRED. The purpose of this tradition is to honor the "fallen" rider. These ladies are members of a mounted drill team from Yakima, WA called SunSation. They travel around the Pacific Northwest preforming at rodeos, fairs, and such events. This photo was taken along the parade route at the 76th "Ketchum Kalf" rodeo in Glenwood, WA. The rodeo is always held on Father's Day week-end. [P6208159]
