Toy soldiers on guard

ORMOND BEACH, FL - -  Saturday (11/18) we chose to head to nearby DeLand for their annual Fall Arts Festival.  As this is mid-November the city already had some of their Christmas decorations out.  Our favorite, for a number of years, has been the larger than life toy soldiers.  They are always nice and gleaming in their uniforms and located on a few street corners like they are on guard.  They fit in  nicely with the festival.
     A special attraction (on which we could find no information) was a troupe  of silent performers.  Two were on intricately constructed metal stallions which they 'rode' while on balancing stilts and pacing just as a steed would do. Additionally, they could manipulate the neck/head of the animal so that it appeared very real. The horsemen were in  colorful outfits with multi-colored plumes of feathers and had 'legs' which appeared to be in stirrups. Two colorfully dressed attendants led the horsemen and enhanced their movement. 
     Unfortunately, the troupe was heading in a direction which had them back lit.
