HORSEBACK
RIDING
A morning ride into the
beautiful Sheep River Valley
on horseback was a ‘had
to be there’ experience.
R. & J. Rivers, Ontario
Look between your horse’s ears at the backcountry
mountain vista spread before you. The forest trail gives
way to a lush meadow, with indigo peaks stretching
skyward along the horizon. Breathe in the sweet scent
of the evergreens on the fresh alpine breeze. Suddenly,
your horse pricks his ears and cocks his head.
You both watch as a moose steps into the sunlight,
her calf at her flank.
Experience the nature of the land from the saddle,
just as the explorers did centuries ago. In the evening,
swap tales with your fellow trail blazers over a sizzling
campfire meal before retiring to your tent under a
canopy of stars.
Release your inner cowboy and experience life on a
working ranch. Join a real cattle drive! Professional
outfitters will create the ultimate adventure on
horseback, tailored to your skills and time.
