- Our Trail Rides are in small private groups from 1 to 5 guests from the same party. We meet at the Maple Heart Ranch - Homestead. Depending on the riding experience of the guest, I pick the horse suitable for each guest. The guests will get, to brush and help saddle the horses and get them ready. I do help, where help is needed. This way the horse and the rider will get to know each other and can build a relationship. To start we spend 15 to 20 Minutes in the riding arena, to build up the confidence between rider and horse and get a introduction into riding a horse. After that we will ride to the Trans Canada Trail. The trail leads into old grow forest and along the Shawnigan Creek, different terrains and elevation makes it an interesting ride for beginners and experienced riders. We will be back around 3pm. Where the guest can help to untack the horses and lead them back to the pasture.From Price:$97 / person
- Ride your first waves, enjoy your time in the water as you soak in the epic scenery where ocean and land meet. Surfs Up!
