Lord Strathcona's Horse | Musical Ride at Spruce Meadows

 

Lord Strathcona’s Horse: The Epic Story of Canada’s Victoria Cross (4K) 

Captured at Spruce Meadows – Fall 2025

KassDays is excited to share our latest video release! Last fall at Spruce Meadows, we were fortunate to film the stunning Lord Strathcona’s Horse (Royal Canadians) Mounted Troop in full ceremonial performance. This 9:36 minute 4K video showcases the power, precision, and proud heritage of one of Canada’s most legendary regiments.

From thundering cavalry charges and synchronized flag drills to the iconic Musical Ride, the troop delivered an unforgettable display of horsemanship and military tradition on the beautiful grass rings of Spruce Meadows. Watch the full video here: https://youtu.be/ghhpT7gQS7A

Why This Performance is Special

The Strathcona Mounted Troop keeps alive the cavalry traditions of the regiment that has served Canada with distinction since the late 1800s. Many viewers will be moved by the connection to the regiment’s multiple Victoria Cross recipients — Canada’s highest award for bravery.The striking red tunics, perfectly matched horses, and flawless teamwork make this one of the most impressive living history displays in Western Canada. Spruce Meadows provided the perfect backdrop with its wide-open fields and mountain views.

Whether you’re into horses, Canadian military history, equestrian events, or simply love spectacular Alberta moments, this video is a must-watch.

Duck Roundup Magic Spruce Meadows PetFest

Duck Roundup Magic at Spruce Meadows PetFest!  

 

Caught this fun herding demo at Spruce Meadows' PetFest—a black-and-white herding dog (think Border Collie or Aussie Shepherd style) expertly rounding up a group of ducks in the arena. The ducks waddle, the dog stalks and directs with that famous intense stare and quick moves—same skills used for sheep on farms!It's mesmerizing to watch the teamwork: dog and handler in sync, ducks moving as one flock without a fuss. 

PetFest brings these cool animal demos, and this one stole the show.

I seem to end up going to nearly every PetFest, due to the simple fact that I love the animals, always something to see, and, sometimes they have little shows with some extremely talented animals that are so well trained it is quite amazing. 

What do you think—ever seen duck herding before? Drop a comment!
