This was an excellent experience. While the trails were a bit muddy due to the rain the experience was nothing bug amazing. We (myself, two young adults, and a child) had amazing blue skies and a great ride through Kananaskis. I would do this again in a minute. The facilities were amazing clean and just stunning.

Mommy, Daughter Day. Excellent staff and beautiful views. All horses well trained and friendly will be back again.
Tammy_K, Jul 2023
Staff are perfectly suites to the clientele. They are patient and informative. The 1 hour trail is challenging enough especially for those who have never riden b4. My husband, (71 yrs old) was one of these and confidently proclaimed he would definitely do this again.

Our guides were very knowledgeable about the area, the ranch and the horses. The trail was beautiful and provided a varied landscape. The horses were beautiful and each had their own character.

First of all, I had read the reviews beforehand and now that I have gone I feel some of the low ratings were very unfair. It is advertised as a ride best suited for beginners and for a 1-hour introduction to horseback I thought it was amazing. I am moderately experienced and brought my 14-year old for her first ride and we very much enjoyed ourselves. It was smokey so we couldn't see much of the mountains but the trees we walked through were lovely. The horses were all very chill and slow and we had a nice meander through the trail. For a beginner and for me who haven't ridden in quite some time, 1-hour was plenty to enjoy. The guides were extremely patient and friendly and communicated everything very well. I appreciated that they stopped to take our photos mid-way. If you're looking for a first ride or you're still getting used to horses, this 1-hour ride is the perfect outing.

My niece and I had the most amazing time at Boundary Ranch! The place is beautiful, the staff were kind and helpful and the trail guides knew just how to place everyone so that we were all on the right horses for our skill level. The horses were gentle and calm. It was a wonderful experience and we look forward to bringing more of our family out in the future!

My partner and I had a very enjoyable time at the Boundary Ranch. It was a beautiful day, the facilities were very well maintained, our horses looked very healthy and well cared for and the staff were all very friendly.
Our guide (the ranch manager) was very pleasant and gave us the background of the ranch as well as answering all our questions.
It was well worth the experience and we will be returning with our extended family.
