Equestrians shine in the 2012 Rose Parade

The Pasadena Tournament of Roses is an annual
tradition to kick off the New Year. The parade began in the 1890s as a way for
Californians to celebrate the beautiful weather and abundance of flowers
available even in the middle of winter. Today, it is held in conjunction with
the Rose Bowl college football game.



The parade features marching bands, motorized
floats, and dozens of equestrian acts every year. Included in this year’s
equestrian events are:

  • The All-American Cowgirl Chicks
  • RFD-TV 100 Palomino Groups
  • Scripps Miramar Saddlebreds
  • Calgary Stampede Showriders
  • Los Angeles Police Department Metropolitan
    Division Mounted Platoon
  • Medieval Times
  • Arizona Mini Mystique

HGTV, RFD-TV and The Hallmark Channel. NBC will air the Rose Parade at 11 a.m.
in all time zones.
