The Calgary Stampede is looking for stories about horses and their unusual companions.

At the Stampede, a thoroughbred chuck wagon horse has a miniature horse buddy, while a Dalmatian dog rides with a team of Clydesdales that pull a stagecoach at the grandstand each evening.

Stories and accompanying pictures or videos will be shared on the My Stampede website. The horse stories will be featured on a new Best Buds page, intended to showcase stories of real life horses and their friendships.

Anyone with a story about horses and their friends is invited to email mystampede@calgarystampede.com or visit my.calgarystampede.com/share-best-buds.
