Southern Pines Christmas Horse Carriage Parade

This is by far my favorite holiday event in the Sandhills.  Big thanks to the Moore County Driving Club for decorating both their horses and their carriages along with their own outfits and driving through the historic downtown district of Southern Pines, North Carolina.
