Horseback riding in the Rockies!

horseback riding in the Canadian Rockies is a fantastic way to forget city life and live the lore of the west like our ancestors did long before us. Some of Bow Valley ’s first businessman were outfitters that showed visitors around the rugged surroundings on horseback. Two of these businessmen, Bill and Jim Brewster, opened up their own guiding company in Banff in the very early 1900’s and their descendants still operate outfitting and riding companies from Kananaskis to Lake Louise today.

on horseback

Medidative and relaxing, horseback riding remains one the most refreshing ways to explore Canmore and area. A great range of riding adventures from guided trips to backcountry trips are available for beginner riders to the born again cowboy or cowgirl. From relaxing day rides to multi-day excursions, you are sure to find the utlimate horseback riding adventure.

Whether you’re seeking a quick ride just enough to get the feel of the firm leather saddle or a longer ride that will really get you in tune with the horse’s rhythm, guided horseback riding trips are truly magical.

To help you decide the best riding adventure for you and yours, we’ve made up a list of all the outfitting and riding companies in and around Canmore. But remember, they are very popular so make sure you reserve early.

Have a "gallopy" good time!
