From its very beginnings, horses have played a vital role with the Mounted Police. Today the Force’s equestrian tradition is kept alive by the world-famous black horses and scarlet riders of the RCMP Musical Ride. Brought to you by Nexen, this exhibit celebrates all things Musical Ride, including the return of “Nero” – the popular Musical Ride horse that many visiting RCMP veterans remember from their RCMP Training Academy days at ‘Depot’ Division. From tack, to lances and uniforms, it is all here – including some interesting answers to questions like, “why are all the horses black?”
