Lord Strathcona’s Horse Musical Ride
Calgary’s world-famous Spruce Meadows was the perfect stage for a thrilling display of Canadian military heritage in this captivating video from KassDays.
Watch as the Strathcona Mounted Troop — the ceremonial display unit of Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) — delivers a high-energy Musical Ride and skills-of-arms demonstration. These skilled soldiers on horseback move in perfect synchronization, performing intricate patterns, fast-paced charges, and the exciting traditional sport of tent pegging. Every maneuver echoes over a century of proud cavalry tradition.
Filmed in beautiful 4K, the video beautifully blends the live action at Spruce Meadows with informative overlays that dive into the regiment’s epic story:

Inspiring tales of bravery, including recipients of the Victoria Cross, Canada’s highest military honour. Whether you’re a history buff, horse lover, or simply enjoy stunning equestrian performances, this video captures the power, pageantry, and living legacy of one of Canada’s most storied armoured regiments — still proudly keeping its cavalry roots alive.
