Riding

These are the memories that you will be going home with.

Scenic Horseback ride

We take a lot of care matching you to your horse so you can experience the 150 km of trails. Your friendly knowledgeable guides will select a horse especially for you during your stay. We keep our groups small so everyone can ride to there experience whether you are a beginner, intermediate or advanced rider.

Many horseback and spa activities will be part of your day. Typically we start our rides in the morning with daily rides starting at 8 am ending the day at 5 pm. For those who just can’t get enough riding we offer 1/2 day cowboy breakfast rides as well as an all day riding excursion that includes lunch on the trail. You can also choose from 1 or 2 hour rides,  private lessons, horse care, horse safety and horse whispering workshops.

During your rides you will go to numerous lakes, see gorgeous views from the lookout points and mountain tops and ride through many wide open natural meadows that go for miles.

While here, take advantage of our spa and enjoy a relaxing massage, pedicure, or any other service that we offer. For a complete list of spa services, CLICK HERE

After a fun filled day of riding come join us at the Trails End or the Agnus McVee dining room and enjoy some of the local fair. After dinner, come and join Glen around the camp fire for an evening of sing song and relive the memories of the day. Watch the the last rays of sun dip into the horizon while sitting around the warm camp fire singing and having fun. Who knows, Glen might even teach you how to play one of our special instruments or teach a new song.
