WOW!!! What an amazing sight! We can't even move around getting out of the van without bumping into one another, and here are 32 beautiful black stallions moving with such a grace and fluidity.
Now be advised that you will see a LOT of similar pix in this posting. But, we got to meet the Mounties and wanted to make sure that they got to see themselves as we get to see them during their phenomenal performances.
We watched the practice, and were giddy when some of the Mounties would look over and grin or smile with a little wave at us.
<<They were so gracious, posing for photos with our team, making us all feel so special. What a great, fun group of people.We wanted to make sure that they knew we were there to honor them, and so of course we presented them with a Director's coin
It is so cool to watch them perform. But we really felt for them. Before we left for Canada we checked the weather forecast and were advised that we could expect temps in the 50's ... And we assumed that Fahrenheit ... wrong!!! We brought cool weather clothing & jackets. OMG!!! We were melting!!!
But we got a chance to feel the weight and thickness of the serge (??) or over jackets that the Mounties wear for their performances. It is amazing they don't fall off their horses from the heat. But much to the contrary, they don't break at all and hot or not, they make it look seamless.
This is a show you want to see if you have the opportunity. And we have it directly from them that they actually do performances in our own Puyallup, at the fairgrounds, every now and again over the years.
