Equestrians Announced for 2022 Rose Parade

Eighteen equestrian groups will ride in the 133rd Rose Parade, according to a statement released Thursday by the Tournament of Roses Association.

The groups include riders from Los Hermanos Bañuelos in Altadena, Pasadena’s Valley Hunt Club, and the Arabian Horse Association in Sierra Madre.

In addition to riding in the 5½-mile Rose Parade route on Saturday, Jan. 1, the 18 groups have been invited to take part in Equestfest on Wednesday, Dec. 29, at the Los Angeles Equestrian Center in Burbank.

During Equestfest, groups perform trick riding, drills, dancing, and roping skills. Attendees can walk through the stables and speak with the riders.

Equestrians participating in the Rose Parade showcase a variety of breeds, as well as unique tack and costumes. All riders must have previous parade riding experience.

The riders will ride from the Tournament House and then make the famous turn from Orange Grove Boulevard to travel down Colorado Boulevard.
