St. Leonard is the patron saint of prisoners, insane, and livestock, especially horses. (What a combination!) On November 6th, the estimated day of his death in 559, horses and their owners parade to a St. Leonard chapel for blessings. We watched the festivities in Bad Tolz a couple of Saturdays ago and enjoyed the culture of it all, even when we weren't sure exactly what was happening.
There were 83 different sets of four horses pulling carts in the parade. Each seemed to be some type of historical group or club.
