Relatives from my mother's side of the family came up for a visit from California and Texas. The temperature in Calgary seemed cool in comparison to the heat in the U.S. I toured them around the Stampede grounds where there are a number of free activities. We went to a one hour musical show called TAILS that is a fanciful story of the Stampede originated 100 years ago. The show featured three horses performing to music unbridled , and saddled as they interacted with characters from the Old West such as the first nations, the ranchers, and farmers. In one scene a buffalo charges into the arena and is met by the three horses who charge the buffalo. There are some new bronze horse statues on the park where everyone is welcome to take pictures.
