Description

Photo of Harry the Horse with a lasso. The photo is framed so Harry the Horse is visible from the knees up. He is wearing his usual uniform: white western hat, red bandana, red and white gingham shirt, cowhide vest, belt and buckle, jeans, furry chaps, and white fringed gloves with red "CS" logos on the cuffs. He is holding the loop of the lasso in his right hand and holding the other end by his head with his left hand. Part of the rope is in his mouth. He is standing against a white studio background.
Harry the Horse's first public appearance was on March 14, 1985, at the Calgary Stampede's Rodeo Royal. He remains one of the Stampede's most recognized mascots.

This photograph was taken as part of a series honouring his 30th anniversary.
