Horse Pack Trips in the North-Okanagan Wilderness of B.C.
A Wilderness Adventure and a Horse Lover's Dream
Join us on a horse pack camping trip into the Silver mountains for a Okanagan wilderness experience you will never forget. There is no better way to explore the back country, riding into the wilderness on horseback, climbing up mountain trails along timbered canyons as you make miles of memories.
The day before heading out on the trail we will provide the ideal opportunity for you to get conditioned and learn the basic skills of mountain riding for the multiple day horseback wilderness experience.
This horseback adventure caters to these individuals who like to rough it and feel comfortable to sleep in a tent or under the stars after a day of superb horseback riding.You will have the opportunity to participate in camp chores and horse management in the wilderness and you will sure take home some wrangler skills.
Bring your camera for photo opportunities to catch wonderful memories of a great time spent in North-Okanagan's Cowboy Country! There is a good chance to see wildlife during our trips and bold eagles soaring high up in the sky.
We adapt to different levels of horse pack trips to accommodate the range of guest abilities and interests, with all the flexibility to customize to the needs of the individual.
The Cowboy Camp - 4 or 5 days
A wilderness horse pack trip is an unforgettable experience. The horseback riding enthusiast will enjoy great riding through untamed wilderness and panoramic scenery following game trails through thick timbered forest and mountain meadows. It is about a five hours ride into camp, where everybody helps with camp chores. The ringing of the bells on the horses grazing near camp provides an unusual musical background as you enjoy the crackling campfire and the evening breeze. The smell of the animal's sweat, the rich smell of the campfire cooking or even the morning coffee will come to have a place etched in your memory.
The first and last nights are spent at the ranch.

"We had an amazing time with you and learning so much about the Canadian way of life and about horses. You and Lina took good care of us and we felt very much at home. The pack trip was an amazing experience although we were worried on the first day not to be able to stay in the saddle for 5 hours. I t was all great and especially the time in camp will always remember. We will gladly recommend you and your ranch to our friends".
