One of the highlights of our Canadian trip

Had a brilliant hour long experience here at Boundary Ranch. After a warm welcome by reception, we headed to where we were going to meet our horses My husband and I were allocated Walker and Morgan. All horses there are well mannered! The safety briefing and what was to be expected were well done, our guide was wonderful and very knowledgeable. She stopped during the walk to take photos of us This was one of the highlights of our 2 weeks in Canada. Would highly recommend!

Awesome trail ride at Boundary

Did a 1h trail ride around the ranch with family of 5 ranging from 7 to 86 years. The trail was absolutely beautiful and the horses docile. The staff was professional, courteous and kind. All of us enjoyed the ride. 1h was the right amount of time since none of us ride regularly. Would definitely return to Boundary ranch again in the future.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear your family enjoyed the one hour trail ride and that everyone, from the youngest to the oldest, had a great time out on the trails. It’s wonderful to know you found the scenery beautiful, the horses calm, and our staff welcoming and professional. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave such thoughtful feedback and can’t wait to welcome you all back again in the future. Thank you for choosing Boundary Ranch! Happy Trails! 🐎✨

Amazing Family Trail Ride

We had an AMAZING time...our guide was fantastic.....we travelled with 4 adults and 2 10 yr old twin grandsons (one who has Autism)....We arrived 30 minutes early (as per request from ranch) and our guide was ready and took the time with our grandson to introduce him to his horse...go on a short "practice walk" so he could bond with his horse.... The experience for all of us was one to cherish....thank you to Boundary Ranch for accommodating our needs!
