Original Toronto Star caption: Mounties' musical ride is back, For the first time in several years, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride is back for the Royal Horse Show at Royal Agricultural Winter Fair in the Coliseum at Exhibition Place. It is one of world's most famous equestrian spectacles ? precision riding in a series of intricate patterns. Most exciting part of the spectacle is still the whooping charge, with flashing lances lowered ? but they haven't skewered a spectator yet. The 48th annual fair ends its run Saturday.
