Please take into consideration: during this trip we haul horses to another part of our trail riding area. This is about a one hour trail haul. This is an additional cost of 2500 CAD + depending on number of horses needed.

We take pride in our well-trained horse string and skilled guides and cooks. True to Alberta’s spirit, our meals feature only the finest Alberta beef, farm-fresh produce, hearty lunches, and delicious dinners. Food plays an essential role in the experience, and we celebrate every meal together.

We are truly looking forward to hosting you in the heart of Alberta!

We share our experience with those who have a keen interest in what happens in Alberta's high country and ranchlands. 40 plus years have given opportunity to build a cowherd, dog pack, good horse string, build some nice cabins, organize good equipment, map out unbelievable trails, find qualified staff all the while calling it our lifestyle. Over the 40 years much has changed but the constant is our love of what we do. Welcome to our world and we will endeavor to share our best.

Today we will start early, so it would be best to stay at the base camp the day before the tour starts, so that we can familiarize everyone with the horses, procedures and prepare gear as needed.

Tour provider's comments

This tour is tailored for intermediate and advanced riders

Equestrians should have no serious health issues and should be able to spend long time in the saddle.

Horse breed: quarterhorse & draft cross.

Tack type: Western. 

!! On multi- day moving trips we ride to the least of the ability and certainly don`t make this a marathon for either riders or horses.
