Cavalcade

Cavalcadeā€”From the Latin caballicare (ā€œto ride on horsebackā€), ā€œcavalcadeā€ originally referred only to processions on horseback. In certain areas of Scotland, ALL SAINTSā€™ DAY was celebrated with a cavalcade: The inhabitants of Hirt (St. Kilda) conducted an Anniversary Cavalcade of All Saints, which included a feast and a procession in which HORSES were ridden using only a straw rope for harness.
