Aaand The Big Horse!
Ros Beiaard (Wikipedia)
It’s whack actually. This particular parade only happens once every ten years.
The four “knights” on top are children who comply to these conditions:
- It has to be four consecutive brothers, without a girl in between.
- They all have to be born in Dendermonde.
- The parents and grandparents have to be born in Dendermonde.
- They have to be between 7 and 21 years old on the day of the procession.
- They have to live in Dendermonde or one of its suburbs.
The 12 people inside? They carry the 800kg horse plus the weight of the children.
Also the music of the marching band is super catchy I must admit
