The beginning of the show. It was 45 minutes of intricate dance and music, watching the horses and riders perform was pretty amazing. The choreography was spectacular. There are 36 riders and their horses, but only 32 perform. The first recorded musical ride was 1887, so we have over 100 years of RCMP tradition happening here. Now they do routines to all sorts of music, James Bond, Hockey Night in Canada, Riverdance, Ghost Riders in the Sky and more. It certainly had the audience clapping and "yahoo-ing."

The riders are first and foremost policemen/women, and after 2 years of active police work they can volunteer for the Musical Ride. Their duration is 3 years, I'm not sure why, to give others a chance I suppose.
