IMMORTALIZED
Yesterday I delivered the “The Trail of 1996. WSGA Cattle Drive.”
Horses, mules, cattle and riders, wagons and carriages filled the horizon and spread across the prairie. For six days the procession crossed near-virgin prairie and rode into the journals of western Canadian history.
In celebration of the 100th anniversary of the first Western Stock Growers Association meeting, more than 2,000 head of cattle, 1,500 people, 1,700 horses and mules and 103 wagons made a 90-kilometre crossing of Canadian Forces Base Suffield.
Garry McCulloch and his beloved horse Cruzer were on that epic ride and commissioned the painting.
