Stayed with my wife in Hinton for the weekend. We visited a lot of places but this was the highlight of our trip! We went on an hour long ride in the mountains and it was amazing. It ended up being longer than an hr including a stop on top a beautiful hill. The horses were amazing, well behaved, very... More

What can I say but, "Wow!". The trail rides that we took were beautiful. Mary, our guide, was friendly, took the time to let the kids help get the horses ready and taught them about horses and riding throughout the process. We didn't know how our 6 year old would do but quickly saw that she was more then fine... More

Called and made a same day reservation. We were actually staying in Jasper, but none of the local horseback options appealed to us, so we drove out to Hinton. We are so glad we found this place. Quiet, beautiful ride along the Athabasca River. We did the mountain view loop and it was a great mix of scenery. Some light... More

I recently went on the 3 hour trail ride with my friend who is a novice rider. Mary provided calm sensible horses which made everyone feel safe on the mountain terrain. The views were spectacular! Up on the ridge overlooking the Athabasca River, with the colours of fall highlighting the glistening trees, and the snow capped Rockies as a back... More

My seven yr old daughter loves horses so we decided to do the mountain view ride (1.5hrs) while visiting Hinton. My son, wife and I were complete novices and managed just fine. Helmets were provided and the horses were very well behaved. The guides were very knowledgeable, helpful and friendly and the views were awesome. Highly recommended. More
