Guests at the event were given an opportunity to take a photo with the over six-foot-tall, one ton clydesdales.

The Express Clydesdales are known for making nearly 200 appearances across North America each year, all while doing good deeds in local communities on behalf of Express Employment Professionals, according to officials.

Denice Redmond, director for Carousel Ranch, partnered with Express Employment Professionals to assist her students in finding employment.

“We have developed a really special relationship with Express,” said Redmond. “Their mission is to put people to work and that includes this population, people with special needs.”

Santa Clarita guests were given the opportunity to spend time with the massive, rare black and white colored horses, along with a chance to participate in a raffle and auction prizes.

Guests who entered the raffle and auction anxiously waited for the prize; a chance to ride in the Express Employment Professionals’ wagon during this year’s Hollywood Christmas Parade.

Yvonne Rockwell, who has worked closely with Carousel Ranch and the Ready to Work! Students, has assisted the organization with a vocational training program for young adults with special needs.

“Express Employment Professionals is on a mission to put a million people to work,” said Rockwell. “The work we are doing with Carousel Ranch has allowed us to assist in the employment process for those who may otherwise have barriers in the process.”

Express has not only made appearances for the students, but has also worked with students to provide interview experience, as well as training for the employment on-boarding process and paperwork.

“It takes the concept of employment to another level for us,” said Rockwell. “This partnership has been very rewarding for the team and I.”

Express is on a mission to put a million people to work annually. In 2017, the company generated $3.4 billion in sales and employed a record 540,000 people, according to Employment Express Professionals.
