Wonderful stay in Canada ! A very friendly and genuine Canadian family with good, safe horses and awe-inspiring scenery everywhere, plus totally sunny weather every day except one. What I liked, apart from the stunning everyday views, was the "very small" and very local side of the ranch, with the interesting and passionate person that is the ranch owner, very chatty and friendly. I will happily return to this ranch for the next several years.
