Bajau Horsemen of Kota Belud

November 11, 2009 by odysseyist

Trooping the Colour, Borneo Style

Kota Belud, “waaaah!”, the land of horses & buffalos (it could easily be the land of milk & honey). So, here it begins the story of the “Five Horsemen On the Prairie“. First thing first, let’s meet our world-famous horseman of Kota Belud. I have seen pictures of this old gentleman countless times, each time he still conjures up the image of the  ”wow!” factor.  There it is, I am still insisting on putting up a picture of this gentleman with a photogenic “wow!” factor. He could have been our superstar!

Me & My Horse Named "Neigh!"

October is the month of the Horse Parade in Kota Belud, Sabah.  Come meet our celebrated riders on the storm during the Tamu Besar (Grand Bazaar/Street Market Fair). The Bajau horsemen will ride into town and put on a grand parade of trooping the horses extravaganza.

Marching Down to the Battlefront

 It’s not my fault if  he flashed his belly button at that inopportune moment.
