BC Government has advised that outdoor activities are ‘good’ while maintaining Social-Distancing; so Trail Riding Services will resume in mid May with new methods to ensure social distancing. Please bring your own mask (if you have one) to wear while riding in the ring and wear clean gloves once you reach the Ranch. If you have boots with a heel (gum boots ok) please wear them/ Riding helmets supplied.

Some masks will be available at the Ranch complete with gloves for a cost of $5 for the set; tax in. Mountain view room will open in May with full exclusive use of Games room and sauna. Please try to stay a minimum of two nights if possible but we are happy to have you join us even for one night… Paddock view room available if it is the same family ‘group’. Please email to book second room.

TOTALLY PRIVATE access and NO SHARED AREAS. Private use of outdoor kitchen plus kitchenette in house. Breakfast will not be served at this time. Studio opens end of June. RV Campers with onboard washrooms may book serviced (water and power) sites or secluded un-serviced sites.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Horse Boarding, Trail Rides, Lessons & Ranch Vacations

We have the privilege of living on a Wonderful 125-Acre Ranch with a Panoramic View of Mount Arrowsmith and Mount Moriarity; which we enjoy sharing with other Horse-Lovers!

Located 15 minutes from North Nanaimo, five minutes from Parksville we have the best of all worlds. Young riders learn to ride their first pony; older riders can satisfy their dreams as well – with our experienced instructors. If you are not a rider yet and would like to be; you will learn how to care for a horse and ride at your own pace.

For those of you who would like to be at a friendly laid-back place and join in lots of trail rides, this is the barn for you.

Trail Rides

Bring your friends and join us on magnificent trails starting on the ranch and proceeding out over hills to Englishman River. Our trail rides consist of a lesson plus a trail ride for a much more enjoyable experience!
