A symbol of tradition, honour, and pride, the RCMP Musical Ride will be showcased at the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede on Wednesday, Aug. 6 and Thursday, Aug. 7 at the grandstand.

The troop of up to 32 riders, who are all police officers, and their horses perform intricate formations and drills set to music, lasting about 30 minutes. These movements demand the utmost control, timing, and coordination.
