Hold Your Horses - FWSSR Parade

Zekers marched to the beat of his own drum, along with the other drums and band members, in the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo parade.
We made it a family event by heading downtown to watch.
Pre-parade we got a head nod of acknowledgment.
We watched over 2,000 horses, several wagons, lots of riding clubs, and a few bands march as they kicked off three weeks of Fort Worth's annual Stock Show and Rodeo. 
It is basically a horse parade, with a few bands sprinkled throughout. Fort Worth likes to claim it as the 'One and Only, Equine-Powered, All-Western Parade.' With the first stock show taking place in 1896, it is the city's oldest event.  It is also Cowtown's largest public event, hosting over 1.2 million guests a year.
This little guy on this little horse put on a show with the pony raising his front feet off the ground and then kicking his back legs up.
Here comes our band!
There is our favorite drummer! He even gave us a smile as he marched by.
The horses who pranced by with their special steps to the beat of their own drum were quite impressive! Yee haw!
