Some 20 pairs of
participants dressed in colorful horse costumes for the
Christmas charity race through the Greenwich area, making "pit
stops" at pubs before crossing the finish line.
Dozens of spectators watched the duos, one person wearing the
head and another the back end of the costume, navigate streets
and alleyways and jump over small hurdles.
"It's for charity and it showcases Greenwich and London in all
its fun," said Greenwich local Richard Pearson, who was named
winner with his son.
