Hundreds of equine enthusiasts got together today for the annual London Harness Horse Parade.
Every Easter Monday, horse fans gather with their best carriages, ropes and ponies.
The spectacular display took place at the South of England Centre in Ardingly, West Sussex, according to the London Harness Horse Parade’s website.
Various different horse-drawn vehicles were displayed and exhibitors from across the UK and Ireland came to participate.
Those taking part in the parade were also competing for awards as judges looked on at the event.
Children got stuck in with the equestrian festivities too as Shetland ponies and donkeys were displayed.
