I'm guessing the horses are Pasos - Peruvian or Paso Fino. Beautiful, in any case! Gorgeous colours and costumes, too.

Great colours and very nice horses and fine ladies what more could you want in a picture. Well spotted.

I have uploaded another version with the head of the left horse intact. It's still cropped very tight on the side. Just wonder if this small change will do anything?

Yes, I think I would have liked to see the horses head uncropped. Otherwise, a very take on the theme Barry

Hi Thane! I think I understand your struggle. I saw originally only two colors: red and blue. However, I missed completely that the horses do represent a second set of black and white. I purposely cropped parts of the horses out of the frame to cause some discomfort. Maybe it's too much? Thanks for the comment!

I'm trying to find the stars in this, The Ladies, the costumes, or the horses or all three in one package? The costumes do tell a story, the ladies are pretty and engaged but the horses seem to be left out ( by that I mean I think I'd have strived to get all of both horses in frame to complete the picture). But it is a pleasing image and one to share.

Thanks for the kind comment. I selected this image because of the colors.

Wonderful costumes the ladies are wearing. I love a parade just for that reason, lots of colorful things to see and the horses/ponies.
