Good time!

Kathy_H, Sep 2024
My horse, Harley, bucked me off!! That said, it was still a really fun ride. Randy, the ride guide, was cool & collected while managing the situation. I'm really no worse for the wear and I'd ride Harley again.

Feeling like a cowboy!

TseHaw_L, Sep 2024
The mountain ridge ride was captivating and the horses were so well-trained. However, Boundary Ranch should consider providing options for transport back as not every traveller drives.

I recommend

Patti_M, Sep 2024
We had a great ride. We went out as a smaller group of 6 with our guide Sarah. We went through beautiful forest scenery and then out into a clearing with fantastic views of the mountains. Horses were great and the ranch grounds were very pretty.

Best day ever with my family &friend.

Rick_B, Aug 2024

Beautiful scenery and wonderful team members. Everyone was friendly and gracious. We went for two hours, which was perfect for our family, but may get long with younger children.

Great views of the valley

MichaelLeonard_S, Jul 2024
We had a fabulous ride. The horses were well mannered and quiet. The views were spectacular from up on a ridge overlooking the valley. The ride through the forests was peaceful and quiet. Other than the group behind who never stopped talking and laughing loudly. I would definitely do this again.

Amazing!

Katherine_F, Jun 2024
Great experience! I loved the horses, they seem so well taken care of. Thank you to our great guide, Genevieve!

Breathtaking views on horseback

Gypsy_W, Jun 2024
We thoroughly enjoyed every moment of our ride. Everything was very organised and the staff were lovely. The trail and views were incredible! Amazing experience that I rent for a long time

I loved that there were a few rough terrain spots of the trail ride and that the horses did not feel so rote that you feel like you’re riding a machine. There was some guidance and direction needed for the hoses that made me feel engaged and like I was having a real experience without being in over my head. The photo opportunity was very appreciated since I was travelling on my own. I loved the knowledge our guide shared about the area, ranch life, horses and more. The ranch is stunning and overall it was a beautiful experience!

Friendly staff, sweet...

Melissa_R, Jun 2023
Friendly staff, sweet horses and great views. Charlie was a great trail leader. Highly highly recommend!

Amazing Experience

Beth_J, May 2023
My sister, niece and I had a fabulous time. We are experienced horse women and the guide matched up to perfect mounts. The scenery was amazing and the guide, Fran, kept us entertained. Would give this experience 10 stars if I could.

Amazing experience with great views and wonderful guides.

Andrei_D, May 2023
Fantastic trail ride. Abigail and Megan were awesome wranglers and guides and not only told us about the ranch and its history but also about the landscape and region in general. The two hour ride was great and varied from flatland to dense forest and a ridge climb with amazing views. We'd love to come back and experience some winter things as well.

Response from Host, May 2023

We truly appreciate your fantastic review of the Ridge Ride and your guides, Abigail and Megan! Thank you for coming to Boundary Ranch and we look forward to seeing you this winter.

Had a fantastic time. My boyfriend and I were celebrating our one year anniversary and there were beautiful views, gentle horses and amazing paths. It was overall a great experience and I would definitely go back again.

A must do experience!

Paige our guide was great and the ride was family friendly! The ranch is pristine and all the staff are so friendly! The horses are beautiful! We Highly recommend.

Helmet

Johan_A, Jul 2021
The place is amazing and the stuff very friendly. The only reason I won't give 5 starts is because at the last moment the horse that my 8 year-old daughter was riding got ready and started running, which could have ended in a tragedy. Fortunately, everything was OK. So, my recommendation is to offer helmets to everyone, especially inexperienced riders and kids. Beside, that very very intense moment, the ride was simply gorgeous and fantastic!

Amazing fun!

Krista_B, Jul 2021
Such a fun ride! Our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable and the horses were superstars. The views were spectacular and we had the opportunity to take some great photos! We got caught in the rain in the last half hour, but even that made for quite the adventure. I highly recommend these guys. They’re amazing!

Grandkids first experience

Cynthia_G, Sep 2020
The day at home I was a bit worried as my babysitter for my grandchildren. I called Beverly who arranged at the last minute to add in the kids. Claudia the lead was very good with talking the 8 and 10 year old on there first experience on horses. It was a great experience Thank you so much for making a great memory that my grandkids will remember forever. Cynthia from Calgary
