or twelve years, the blistering fast pace of
O-Mok-See, a colorful event on horse-
back, has caught up with Linda Andrews.
"Participating in O-Mok-See is my
reward. I started aer I had cancer surgery, and
survived. My horse is twenty-three and still
'rockin' it."
O-Mok-See is a Blackfeet Indian word meaning: "riding
big dance." To the saddle clubs across Montana, O-Mok-See
has become a timed event sport for western riders who race
four at a time against each other as the clock tests their speed
and skill.
