Parade, which has the theme “Best Day Ever!”

Participants can expect thrilling performances featuring precision drills, dazzling dance routines, impressive roping skills and awe-inspiring tricks. The event also provides animal lovers of all ages opportunities to interact with a variety of horse breeds.

In addition to the equestrian showcase, this family-friendly celebration includes live music, educational and interactive exhibits and a food and vendor court.

Equestrian units have been an integral part of the Rose Parade and its surrounding activities since the Tournament of Roses began in 1890. These groups complement the floats and bands as they journey down Colorado Boulevard on New Year’s Day.

In 2025, they will once again showcase their diverse talents and poise on the world stage. From square-dancing horses to award-winning cowgirls and police horses that bring joy to children in hospitals, each unit brings its own unique flair to the festivities.
