The Queen’s Cowboys
Respected and admired around the world, and a favourite of Her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, the RCMP Musical Ride is performed by a full troop of 32 riders and their horses. These men and women aren’t just “riders” but full-fledged members of the most famous police force in the world. Their stunning performance consists of intricate figures and drills choreographed to music. The Musical Ride performs in up to 50 communities across Canada between the months of May and October and helps raise thousands of dollars for local charities and non-profit organizations.
