Horse lovers gather in Kundl for traditional leonhardiritt procession

Over 100 horse lovers from across Tirol, Austria, participated in the traditional Leonardiritt procession in Kundl on Sunday.

Participants traveled from the village center to the St. Leonhardskirche on horseback, in carriages, or on foot. After reaching the church, people attended a field mass where the horses received a blessing. Local farmer Stefan Oberhammer said the event began 61 years ago to raise money for church renovations.

He noted that the gathering now focuses primarily on people enjoying a pleasant day together.
