Default BATUS at Spruce Meadows, Calgary AB

For you British fans (Robin and Al) and the rest of us who just like cool kit, the British Army had their annual display at the Spruce Meadows Masters Horse Show today, they should be there through Sunday if anyone is in the area, my wife snapped these pictures today

Are you in the area John, or is your wife just teasing you with the photos?

No Wayne I am still stuck on the coast, She is riding in the horse show and I was up in the Okanagan for bit as the Peachland fire looked like it might head toward my sisters but now back in the lower mainland trying to get my project attention deficit disorder under control

The paint on those wagons is so fresh you can smell it.

Great to see, thanks for that

I was thinking that same thought! These are too clean and too presentable to be regular BATUS vehicles that get bashed around the prairie.
