If there’s no room in the backyard for a horse, consider being a horse supporter instead.
As part of the RCMP Musical Ride fundraiser, businesses or families are able to purchase a sign with their name to put on the stall door of a Musical Ride horse.
There are 36 horses, and sponsors will get to keep the placard that shows the horse’s name, and family or business name.
The Musical Ride arrives in town July 28, and the public is welcome to come and meet the riders and horses from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m.
The two Musical Ride performances are July 29, at 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., with a pre-show performance. Details on that will be released later.
The Musical Ride is a fundraiser for two local non-profit organziations, Big Country Victim Services and the Drumheller District Stampede and Agricultural Society.
Judy Nelson of Big Country Victim Services estimates the event requires about 80 volunteers, based on the previous visit of the Musical Ride in 2010.
Anyone interested in volunteering can phone Judy Nelson at 403-823-4233, leaving their name and phone number, and stating they would like to volunteer with the Musical Ride.
Nelson said volunteers will receive a drink ticket, get to attend one of the performances, and attend the hot roast beef dinner after the second show.
Big Country Victim Services provides services in the territory covered by the Drumheller, Hanna and Oyen RCMP detachments.
