The RCMP Musical Ride is coming to the Cowichan Valley on Saturday.

The event features a troop of up to 32 riders, all police officers, performing intricate formations and drills on horseback set to music.

The RCMP describes the Musical Ride as a symbol of tradition, honour and pride, as well as a Canadian icon.

“The Musical Ride supports front-line police operations by building positive relationships, supporting recruiting efforts and promoting the RCMP’s image in communities in Canada and around the world,” said a statement from the RCMP.

The Musical Ride performs in as many as 50 communities each year and visits each province approximately once every four years.

Saturday’s performance at the Cowichan Exhibition is sold out. The show begins at 5 p.m.
