EXPO ORMSTOWN - MAY 19th, 2010- One of Canada's most
recognized icons, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Musical Ride,
will be performing at Expo Ormstown on May 19th, 2010.
The RCMP Musical Ride represents a colourful Canadian tradition. The
troop of 32 horses and riders will perform a variety of cavalry drills
choreographed to music. Working through a unique medium, they support the
RCMP community policing efforts throughout Canada.
The Musical Ride was developed in 1876 by early members of the North-West
Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain the local
community. It has evolved over the decades into a uniquely Canadian
performance enjoyed by tens of thousands of spectators every year.
Members of the Musical Ride are first and foremost police officers. They
all have at least two years experience in active police work before
volunteering for duty with the Musical Ride. Surprisingly, most have no
prior riding experience.
