Where will we be riding?

All of our rides take place in Campbell Valley Park which is a designated equestrian park. The trails are well groomed and the scenery is beautiful.
Back To Top of Page

Are your rides guided?

Yes. For the safety of both our customers and our horses, our insurance dictates that all rides must be guided. Having said that though, our guides are a lot of fun and we do our best to adjust each ride to the riders on it. There are lots of places that are good for walking, trotting or cantering (running). We’ll go at your speed.

Absolutely not; we have horses to suit all riders and in fact most of our customers are first time riders.

Yes, within reason. If it is just sprinkling a little we will generally still go out.

How will I know if my ride is canceled due to the weather?

If the weather happens to be inclement on the day of your ride, we recommend that you give us a call the morning of the ride. We can then let you know what the weather is doing here in Langley and whether the ride will go out or not.
