The Natives In These Area Have Been Running This Ran For Hundreds Of Years. Race Use To Be Held Near " Keller" Up Though 1930's, But When The Grand Coulee Dam Flooded The Area WHere Race Was Held, Ran Was Moved To Omak As Organizers Of Rodeo Needed A Big Draw To Their Event. These Horses Are All At Least 5 Years Old For Strong Bones And Esp. Trained.... It's JUst Awesome To Watch....
