A horse on a leash?!

Have you ever seen such a sight? A horse on a leash? Well, I nearly had a heart-attack when this sight appeared in front of our house. The little horse seemed to be pig-headed, so the master had to pull him down the road. Cute, isn't it?

Well, later I discovered that the horse was being taken to the church ceremony. On the 26th of December we have a traditional custom, where all the horses from near and far get a blessing from the church priest, in front of the church, of course. It's supposed to bring them health and good luck in the year to come. So, the little fellow was being taken to a horse-mass, but it didn't seem to be very religious :-)
