Rooted in tradition, this parade is broadcast on multiple television networks, watched by upwards of one . The seven horses are part of a fairly new breed, the Camarillo White Horse, and are offspring of Sultan, Camarillo's stallion. ``Officials proclaimed this horse the official horse of the city last year,'' said Audra Seldeen, whose mare, Evita Juanita, will be among those ridden down Pasadena's Colorado Boulevard Colorado Boulevard (or Colorado Street) is a major east-west street in Southern California, United States. It runs from Griffith Park in Los Angeles east through Glendale, the Eagle Rock section of Los Angeles, Pasadena, and Arcadia, ending in Monrovia. . The city of Camarillo's insignia, featuring Adolfo riding on Sultan, appears on all the city's street signs, city vehicles and shopping centers. City Councilwoman Charlotte Craven said the city feels honored that that the horses will be part of the parade. Camarillo taxpayers donated $5,000 toward the expense of sending the horses to Pasadena. ``The horses have a lot of meaning for us,'' Craven said. ``We feel a close tie to them. They're named for the Camarillo family just like the city was named for the Camarillo family. ``They're beautiful creatures and they symbolize a lot of what people think of when they think of us.'' Plus, Craven said, the opportunity will be good for the city's reputation. ``It's good for the city to have the horses in the parade,'' Craven said. ``There are millions of people watching People watching or crowd watching is a hobby of some people to watch those around them and their interactions. This differs from voyeurism in that it does not relate to sex or sexual gratification. , and the name of Camarillo will be right out there with names of other cities that have floats or other groups in the parade. The legend of the Camarillo White Horses dates back to 1921, when Adolfo Camarillo purchased 9-year-old Sultan at the California State Fair in Sacramento. Camarillo bred Sultan with Morgan horses Morgan horse, breed of American light horse descended from a single progenitor—the famous Justin Morgan. Morgans are used as all-purpose light horses and are very popular on cattle ranches. Their average height is just under 15 hands (60 in. and, later, with quarterhorses. When Camarillo died in 1958 the ownership of the white horses fell to his daughter, Carmen Carmen throws over lover for another. [Fr. Lit.: Carmen; Fr.

Seldeen attended the auction where she was elated to purchase Evita Juanita, which at the time was a 6-month-old white filly filly young female horse up to first breeding or 4 years, then a maiden mare. Called filly foal up to weaning, then weanling filly to 1 year, then yearling filly to 2 years. . Seldeen and others who purchased white horses from that auction started officially registering the breed about 10 years ago. Now there are a total of 13 Camarillo White Horses on the books. ``It was a sad day, there were a lot of tears shed,'' Seldeen said, thinking back to the day of the auction. ``But I felt so lucky and shocked that I was able to get one.'' Camarillo White Horses have been in 15 parades and have made their way down the six-mile parade route along Colorado Boulevard three times. This year's participants include: Tanya Langkopf riding Snow Prince; Priscilla Stuart-Galgas riding La Diamonta; Nadine Webb riding Paloma; Judy Aronson riding Jefe; Sharon Lindsey riding Evita Juanita; Mary Long riding Millie Juanita and Kristie Tice riding Brilliante. ``We were just thrilled to death to be part of the millennium parade,'' Aronson said. ``People from all over have applied and we feel lucky we were chosen. Even the horses are getting excited. They know when a parade is coming. It takes us three hours to wash them and seven hours to clean the saddles.'' Aronson has been riding her horse a lot lately, making sure he's ready to endure Saturday's long ride. She's been exercising him in a field called ``Top of the World'' across the street from her Camarillo home.

Their riders too will be decked out in red dresses. Seldeen, who has ridden in the parade in the past, said the scene is unforgettable. ``When come around first corner onto Colorado Boulevard it's overwhelming,'' Seldeen said.``There are hundreds of TV cameras and so many people. It's just wonderful. The crowd has always been friendly. You say `Happy New Year' for the next six miles and they say `Happy New Year' back.''
