Well, it beats the stairs.
The tradition of a horse going up the Calgary Tower continues Thursday, when Tucker and his rider take the elevator to the top.
It’s the 17th annual visit for local Cowboy Dave Cowley of Rafter Six Ranch.

The tradition of a horse and its rider traveling through Calgary businesses actually dates back to 1923.
