From the Fjord Horse Association of Great-Britain :

We were very proud of the fact that one of our fjord horses was chosen by magazine Horse & Hound to represent the London New Years Day Parade.
It was Merlin the Wizard / Peter Williams and Vietta.

Thank you, Lyn. We are pleased to share the story of this wonderful day, in two parts.

First report from our FAB FOUR
Stacey Jury & Jenny Trotman once again took part in the London New Years Day Parade under the banner of 'All the Queen's Horses' The Parade theme was '30 Magical Years'. Stacey & Jenny's theme was Charlie & the Chocolate Factory.
Their preparations started back in October with the first task being discussions on who would do what. The fjords became 'Wonka Bars' and the riders and other members of the group would be characters from the book - and so the preparations began... Making the costumes, rehearsing the fjords and riders, reminding the two fjords that London New Year's Day Parade is noisy and colourful.
