Equine beads? Who knew, but glad to know. I’ve been to numerous Mardi Gras parades in NOLA and many smaller towns in LA, MS (those were more fun), and should I get to a Mardi Gras parade again, will keep an eye out for equine beads. MM
If Very Unique were legit terminology, New Orleans would qualify.

Equine beads? It was a horse-related work event, hence the themed beads.
