"We're really encouraging them to attend the ride and participate fully and stay sober for the four or five days that they're on the ride. Because the reality is that a lot of people haven't stayed sober that long, four or five days. So if they can do that, that's an accomplishment," he added.

"The reason we're doing this is just to create an awareness of addictions on both reserves," explained [Buglar]. "And along the way we're trying to initiate cultural teachings about the traditional lifestyle of horses and how they were used for healing and how they can still be used for healing."

"We hold a cultural camp every year at Red Pheasant on this TLE land along the river so we're camping along the river and traveling along an old wagon trail that's been used for a lot of years for traveling across western Canada and it takes us right to Saskatoon," said Buglar.
