Ride horseback through Kananaskis forests, wetlands, and mountain ridges with expert guides, calm horses, wildlife views, and a small group.
“The place is amazing and the stuff very friendly. The only reason I won't give 5 starts is because at the last moment the horse that my 8 year-old daughter was riding got ready and started running, which could have ended in a tragedy. Fortunately, everything was OK. So, my recommendation is to offer helmets to everyone, especially inexperienced riders and kids. Beside, that very very intense moment, the ride was simply gorgeous and fantastic!”
