Wow, Chrissi, great pictures and great horses. I love Frisians too. Their gait is fantastic.
Ellemeno:
I love the Onion Horse. But how old is your village? Surely Otto hasn't been leading the parade for centuries!
I love Europe. sigh....

Our village is at least 1234 years old. The oldest mention in an official record dates from 774.
Poor Otto is old, but not *that* old :laugh:. The tradition of the horse+carriage parade is not very old, maybe ten years (the first years they did it annual).
The fair is an old tradition of the village (of every village around here), but it was very much on the decline some years ago. People didn't want their traditions to get lost and decided to do something to make the fair a community event again. The parade is one part of it.
And their efforts paid off, and very much so. Today the fair is again an important and attractive event for our communitiy.
