Great team at the lodge, Femka our very friendly, competent, very attentive guide who immediately had to choose the horse that suited me, knowing them all very well and having correctly judged the character and equestrian skills of each.
My horse Shawny, excellent horse not easy to prepare, with blood ("spirited") at my request but very well educated mare who was well under orders so her whole character was perfect for me. Equipment very suitable and very well maintained.
Very good accommodation very comfortable and the chef is excellent so different meals every day and very very good, in very large quantities.
Super very sporty equestrian stay with the chance to have had good level teammates. We rode with 4 Americans of good level and very funny.
Wonderful week in British Columbia with an experienced instructor who found the right horse for each participant. Incredible and very well maintained horses. Perfect security management.
My horse, Koda was a great, very outgoing and dynamic mare on foot. I loved her. Western saddle in good condition.
Very pleasant lodge, beautiful room in an incredible environment. Karen and Josh our hosts are great as well as all the team (a mention for our cook).
I highly recommend this place at the end of the world in a splendid environment with exceptional horses and a wonderful welcome.
