So much is understandably made of the Rose Parade's stirring sights, with much attention being paid to the rows and rows of roses, the elegant automobiles, and the floats that boast whimsically whizbang themes.
But the sounds of the Pasadena spectacular are also a major part of the major event, as they always add an awesome auditory aura.
And few sounds are as synonymous with the celebrated parade as neighing, and the clip-clop of hooves, and all of that wonderful whinnying.
