The Libby Saddle Club hosted its annual O-Mok-See event Sept. 20-22 at J. Neils Memorial Park.
Several dozen riders from Montana, Idaho and Washington competed in the three-day event. Founded in the 1950s, the club has provided the opportunity for equine lovers with the desire to compete in horse gaming in Lincoln County.
The sport of O-Mok-See began with the Blackfoot Indian Tribe. It means “riding big dance.” It also referred to pattern horse racing.
