Another reason to like him...
Indeed.
And it was when the bagpipes played we saw Josephine rocking away.
It came out a bit disorganized this year IMO. Probably because this is the first time QMII and the CP-family is there at the same time and I also think the organizers behind the ring-riders were taken a little aback.
The bit where adult riders presented flowers to QMII and a couple to Mary as well, worked fine.
But then, understandably, it became messy.
There were at least a couple of occasions where one royal thought the flowers were for him/her but wasn't. And the riders were also a bit confused, who to present the flowers to with two or three royal hands out there?
I noticed at some point Isabella was the only one who did not get a bouquet. She was likely missed in the confusion.
And the boys were very much reduced to props. Christian don't care about flowers, but Vincent clearly appreciated getting a bouquet or two.
Also, this system will be even more confusing if Joachim's children are present as well. Imagine two very lively Princesses in the shape of Josephine and Athena all over the place!
So a little rethink is needed.
On the other hand the photos of all of them were much more natural, because all are doing something or focusing on something. - Instead of standing there thinking: What the holy cow are we going to do with ourselves for the next ten minutes?

You may have noticed that a couple of the riders got a special warm greeting by Mary. They were apparently girls whom Josephine and Isabella had gotten to know well while riding at the local riding club.
A
delightful video from a local Dane!
Notice Josephine's dance moves... Scots blood runs in her
And how attentive Frederik and Mary are toward Margrethe.
Bella too.
Looks like she's seen a few highland steps before in her life:
