Our equestrian tours in Canada 
Horseback riding vacations in Canada
There are few countries in the world that offer as many choices to the adventure traveler as Canada. Whether your passion is horseback riding, hiking, canoeing, cycling, kayaking, multisport, rafting or indulging in exceptional cuisine, Canada has it all. Horse riding opportunities in Canada are numerous. Whether you are drawn to the great outdoors on a mountain trail ride, or wish to experience life on a working dude ranch, horse riding holidays in Canada have it all.
Alberta in Canada is home to the world-famous Calgary Stampede – where horse riding takes centre stage every July.
Western Canada (British Columbia) is renowned for its stunningly beautiful landscapes – towering mountain ranges that give way to rugged coastlines and island sanctuaries. Eastern Canada (Quebec) mixes the flavor and charm of Europe with the bustle of trendy New York. Wildlife viewing is at its best in Northern Canada (Yukon); and, everywhere, you will be surprised by how much more there is to this country than just maple syrup and Mounties!
Hidden Trails invite you to check out the beauty that is Canada on a horse riding vacation: rugged backcountry, snow capped mountains, expansive fields, fast flowing rivers, gigantic glacier lakes and a fascinating array of wildlife.
With nights in tents or luxury cabins and home cooked meals, Canada offers exhilarating destinations from which to explore the great outdoors. From the Rocky Mountains in British Columbia, the great Saskatchewan plains of the Prairies, the wilds of the Yukon, to the beautiful Gaspe Peninsula in Quebec, Canada offers an equestrian horseback riding excursion for everyone.
