Kathy, Hans,
Joe and Ben;
what a wonderful 5 days this has been! Your very warm hospitality has far exceeded our hopes and expectations. The cabin was incredibly clean, the horses were very well cared for and special thanks to your thoughtful specialized cooking.
We look
forward to seeing all of you and the horses again in the near future!
(Joe and Ben, you have been wonderful hosts) July 2008.

private bathroom and a view to the Rocky Mountains, all meals
(breakfast and dinner served in the ranch house.
Lunch rides and campfire rides are back in the later
afternoon, we pack food into the saddle bags.
On the other days the riding will be done in the early
afternoon and a lunch package is ready to take to the cabin
or nearby lake, there is time to relax at the ranch, drive into town
to shop at the western store or drive out west to the Rockies. Have a
campfire at night and/or soak in the hot tub under the stars.
Also included is the horseback riding; lots of fun on great
ranch horses.
May 14 : intro into ranch riding and a half day ride: you get
to know your riding horse for the next five days, you will lead your
horse to the hitching post, tie up and give a good brushing and learn
how to saddle up. Get to know your ranch horse, how to ride neck
reining etc. Later go out on a ride in a small group over our pasture
and lots in beautiful Canadian forest. There always is opportunity to
go faster on wider trails, trot and lope and feel free as the wind.
