Canadian Horse-back Riding Adventures

By Heather Toms


Do you love tame horses and wild terrain? Do you get thrills out of horse riding in almost uncharted territory? If so , you will love horse riding adventures in Canada. If you're at all aware of Canada's geography, you will know that it consists of some of the most gorgeous mountain terrain anyplace globally. If you are turned on by the idea of horseback riding in some of the most gorgeous lushness on earth at the best time of year, you pick autumn, when the country side can be a total riot of colors.

Trust me, horseback riding in Canada is the kind of experience that's simply unmatched anyplace else.

The most significant advantage of Canada is that large tracts of the country are still open, comparatively empty, unsullied by all of the trappings of 'civilization' and with natural beauty that hasn't been gutted over millennia of human depravation. Those people you do run into are really friendly. A trip following the flow of the St. Lawrence will take you thru some gorgeous country, with no dearth of suitable accommodation and glorious food. A horseback trip by the side of the Yukon will take you on a unforgettable mountain adventure with white water falls, gold rush day trails and animal life galore.

To a reasonable extent, of course, the longer you vacation the better, but whether you go on a day's trip or a week's, your journey will make up for memories that you're going to value for life. Horses available here are positively healthy animals of quality breeding and unfaultable training and manners. You'll encounter staff who are helpful, knowlegable and educational. They're going to make sure you are on top of the situation always in terms of handling your horse and taking acceptable precautions for the safety of your pony and yourself. You can choose tent accommodation or for more lush lodges. If you stay up late into the night, you can avail of the sight of a lifetime: the astounding midnight sun.

While choosing programs that involve horseback travel along Canada's country routes, you can go in for a little bit of horseback excitement at a Dude Ranch. Your pleasure won't be any the less whether you are alone, with your better half, with your family or on your honeymoon. You can rest assured of one thing: whoever is with you is also going to have the whale of a time.

Regardless of if you have no experience whatsoever with horses, you can still go straight ahead with a horseback vacation in Canada. You can take advantage of the services of some phenomenal instructors who will make you adept at pony trekking in awfully short order. A number of them take you even further. They let you witness a bit of jumping and trick riding. They teach you about pony care and upkeep, and about pony gear. They give insights into how barns and stalls are structured. You also get to pick up some grooming tips, as well as show tips. You can take your own horse if you choose an outfit with boarding facilities.

You need to do some home work to find out what package in Canada would suit you the best. You are also given the option of customising your package with some of the operators.
