By Midge Harmon - Harmon's Horse Drawn Carriages
The most important factor in choosing a horse to use for the groom to ride in his procession: Is the horse quiet? Has she been accustomed to the music, cymbals, dancing, and general activity of the Procession? She also should be used to wearing the brocade saddle cover, head and tail dressing, and the brocade breast collar.
A great many Southern Asian groom in this country have never ridden a horse before so they need to have a horse that is quiet and will not intimidate them. The horse handler should be experienced in this type of wedding procession to help give security to both the horse and the groom and to anticipate what is going to take place. This is the most important day of the groom's life and they do not need to be upset by a horse that is dancing around because of the noise and commotion. They want a nice quiet ride with all their family and friends proceeding them on the way to meet the bride's father and family.
