CS.2025.32.34

Photo of Harry the Horse mascot posing with the Canadian flag. His whole body is visible. He is standing, facing the camera. He is wearing his usual uniform: white western hat, red bandana, red and white gingham shirt, jeans, belt and buckle, furry white chaps, western boots, and white fringed gloves with red "CS" logos on the cuffs. With both hands, Harry is holding a Canadian flag on a short wooden pole. He is holding it out toward the left side of the photo. Harry 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.
