Episode Details

The Lord Strathcona’s Horse, a Canadian cavalry regiment with roots in the Boer War and WWI, brought its historic mounted troop to Whoop-Up Days in Lethbridge — a perfect fit for a festival celebrating local heritage. Though no longer combat cavalry, the unit keeps its traditions alive through public appearances, community engagement, and horseback displays that connect generations. Soldiers like Corporal Andy Vu find purpose in sharing history, answering questions, and bringing smiles — especially to families who’ve never seen such living military tradition up close. Their performances during the festival remind us that Canada’s military past isn’t just in museums — it’s still riding proudly in communities across the country.
