“Steph was very informative and the horses were awesome! It was better than taking a hop on and off tour especially considering the weather was beautiful”

A 1-hour horseback ride in Banff featuring Bow Falls views and Spray River crossings near the Fairmont. Beginner friendly, calm horses, helmet included.
“This place is beautiful. The horses are well-trained and handled very professionally. The staff are friendly and kind, and they genuinely care about the horses’ comfort, which I think reflects great animal friendliness. However, the listing mentioned that parking is included, but when I asked where to redeem the parking ticket, they told me that they do not offer free parking. I’m not sure if this is a mistake on the platform or something else—I just hope the next person is aware of this.”

Two hours horseback riding in Kananaskis, small-group ridge views, wildlife chances, and a pass by The Revenant teepees, from $151.72.
“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!”
