Mounted horse procession

This is a part of the Hawick Common Riding Festival in which a giant horse procession around the town takes place. In Hawick, they take horse poo very seriously indeed, and in fact immediately after the horses have passed, a massive sweeping machine enters the town to tidy away all the dung IMMEDIATELY. You might be able to hear this towards the end of the recording; more information for the context of the Hawick Common Riding can be found here: http://www.hawickcommonriding.com/about.html Recorded with Naiant X-X microphones and Fostex FR-2LE, microphones held at around horse ankle level, about 5m away from the actual horses.
