Giddy Up
Greenville Horse Parade
By Naiesha Thobe, Teen Scribe
Saturday night continued Greenville’s festive festivities as the annual
Lighted Holiday Horse Parade commenced. Citizens flocked to find a
parking spot, and pushed through crowds to find the perfect viewing
spot before the parade finally rolled, or shall it be said
clip-clopped, down the street.
Crowds were treated to Christmas music as the band marched by,
signaling the start of the parade. As the music faded on as the
instruments continued down the street, people were greeted by the sound
of horses trotting by.
There were a variety of horses with a variety of decorations; some
horses had their own ensemble of reindeer antlers and strings of
lights, while some others were just adorned with their rider. “Horses”
included multiple breeds, plus a variety of miniature breeds, including
donkeys and ponies.
Various organizations were also featured in trailers pulled behind some
horses. Favorites of the children proved to be the snowmen and reindeer
mascots that waved and yelled gleefully to the crowds.
More than 60 entries entertained hundreds of fascinated viewers - young
and old - up and down South Broadway.
Having a wonderful night for the parade drew many people together to
celebrate the heralding in of another holiday season.
