Description
Photo of Harry the Horse mascot posing with a cake with "30" candles on top. The photo is framed so that Harry is only visible from the waist up. He is wearing his usual uniform: white western hat, red bandana, red and white gingham shirt, cowhide vest, and white fringed gloves with red palms and "CS" logos on the cuffs. He is holding the cake with both hands, facing toward the left side of the frame. Harry is standing against a white studio backdrop.
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.
