One of the most exciting, albeit dangerous, events at the Williams Lake Stampede, the Mountain Horse Race, provided four days of action for spectators at this year’s 86th Annual Williams Lake Stampede. This ride, during Saturday’s performance, saw (back from left) Alexis Creek’s Darren Sulin and Merritt’s Chris Dieleman, Patrick McLoud (front from left) and Steve Quilt emerge from a cloud of dust before making their way around the track and into the grandstand arena. This year’s overall title in the Mountain Horse Race was won by Nemiah Valley’s Roger William, followed by Jimmy Lulua, also from Nemiah Valley.
