Parade on a horse riding on Santa and reindeer Aomori December 22 12:27

Prior to Christmas, a member of a local equestrian club in Aomori paraded through the center of the city on a horse riding Santa Claus or a reindeer.

Every year, the horse riding club in Aomori City holds a "Christmas parade" to get close to horses. About 20 members of the riding club, including elementary and junior high school students, participated.

The members paraded on a three-kilometer round-trip route through the city center in over an hour, riding a Santa Claus hat and a reindeer wearing a horse.

Along the roadside, some people photographed and waved the parade, and a woman in her 30s in Aomori City said, "I think the horse is cute and Christmas-like. "

A third grade boy who participated in the parade said, "I enjoyed the parade."

Saori Uchiyama, an instructor at Aomori Riding Club, said, "There are many gentle horses and I don't hate hats, so I dressed like a Christmas dress. .
