Smokey goes from the North Pole to the Calgary Stampede

Once upon a time a wild horse thought he could just hang out and nap at Indian Grove Riding Stables…. In 2020 Smokey was selected to take a trip with Long Rider Filipe Mazetti along with another Penticton Indian Band Wildie Big Mac, the two horses would walk from the North Pole, Alaska all the way to the 2020 Calgary Stampede. The Stampede was canceled due to the pandemic but the two Okanagan Wild horses put on their own parade! It is really important to thanks Aaron Stelkia for lending Smokey for the trip and to fellow Long Rider, Jim McRae for loaning Big Mac. Stelkia Ranch would also like to say a belated big thank-you to Caley Howard and Jordi Louie who helped get Smokey ready for his big trip!
