Although the freak snowfall and heavy rain caused the RCMP Musical Ride to be cancelled, the riders and their horses were able to stroll through town and wave to pedestrians on Monday.
In addition, locals had the opportunity to visit the steeds in their makeshift stable at the Activity Centre, and the riders dropped by Alpine Summit for pictures.
Existing since 1927, the RCMP Musical Ride is world-renowned for its ability to maneuver horses into different formations, all choreographed to music.
Five RCMP officers with the Musical Ride recently rode just ahead of King Charles III and Queen Camilla’s carriage during the royal procession following the coronation ceremony.
In addition, anyone who has looked at the back of a $50 note issued in 1975 can see the RCMP Musical Ride in their classic formation called the dome.
The RCMP Musical Ride last came to Jasper in 1974.
