Banff Trail Riders - Store

We joined the 1-hr ride along the Bow River. The event was very well organized. All the cowgirls were very friendly, attentive and patient enough to show us some basic skills on how to control horses. The assigned horses were lovely and very friendly to humans. This is a marvelous experience for us to ride in such a beautiful environment of snow mountains and Bow river. Highly recommend this horse ride to everyone who visit Banff! We certainly look forward to be back soon!

Our three day ride to Sundance Lodge was an amazing experience for myself, my daughter and granddaughter. We cannot than our guide, Lola enough for her attention to every detail, sharing her knowledge of the horse, her explanations along the trail and above all giving a 10 year old an experience she will never forget. The accommodation at Sundance Lodge was above all expectations as was the meals prepared by Hayden. The horses were well matched to the riding skills of each person. This ride went off without a hitch starting with the reservation, the check-in on the day of the ride. To top off a fabulous three days was the perfect weather. First class operation #horsebackbanff

This is the best horseback riding adventure ever! It's such an amazing experience that I've returned for the 3rd time. The entire team, this includes the welcoming host, the guides, the cooks, the packers and the maintenance crew, treats us all with such kindness and professionalism. Thank you all again for another extraordinary experience. I will cherish these memories forever!

Over the Christmas holidays, we rented a private sleigh ride for our family. Despite the cold temperature (-25 degrees Celsius) we had a blast. Our driver Michael (I think that was his name) was fantastic - very informative on horses and the scenery, and funny. Our two horses were very friendly. The views were spectacular, and we even saw several elk in the bushes. It was definitely a great way to create some great family memories!

What a wonderful experience my two adults daughters and I had with Banff Trail Riders. We chose the 1 hour BOW RIVER ride, quickly wished we chosen at least 2 hours, (next time). I had not sat on a horse in 40 years, but immediate felt comfortable. The experience starts with being fitted for a helmet and getting weighed so they match you with the perfect horse( don’t stress the weigh-in is 💯 private. After a safety and “steering” demo, we were matched with 3 sweet boys 🐴🐴🐴. Milo, Wesley and Hondo. These horses are well behaved, well taken care of and very quiet. Our guides were great and we had great interaction with the lead guide JJ, who coincidentally was from Atlantic Canada like us. We were the first three horses behind the guide which was wonderful. It was a nicely paced ride, beautiful scenery and all in all better than expected!! highly recommend !

Do you like horses? Do you like Banff? Combine the two! Banff Trail Riders offers some world class amazing horse rides and other packages to check out. In the summer time you can go on a horseback ride through the town, through the hills, the Bow River and back again. In the winter you can go on a real life old timey sleigh ride through snow covered trails (Shout out to Gus! A great guide full of all sorts of info). Both options are super beautiful. They also do horseback trail rides into the mountains with cowboys and a professional chef, cooking you lunch, giving you a real life old fashioned experience. If you're interested in doing a multi-day ride, they have that too. They handle everything. It's super awesome. Love Banff and love Banff Trail Riders. Cheers.

My family had the great opportunity to do a three day ride with Banff Trail Riders. Two of our family members were experienced riders and the other two were beginner riders. BTR catered for every rider on the ride. Our horses were perfectly matched to our abilities, and beginner riders were placed directly behind the guide. Lola, our guide was brilliant. She looked after each one of us with such patience and skill. Even during the storm that hit us on the second day, she dealt with the difficulties that arose with one of the experienced riders in our group, kept everyone calm and feeling comfortable. Our accommodation was beautiful and ever so comfortable. I loved the sound of the river running beside the Sundance Lodge, sending me to sleep immediately. We were looked after so well by Hayden, host and chef at the lodge. We had a wonderful time talking to other riding groups at the lodge and enjoyed the lack of internet connection...we played games, did yoga beside the river, and generally had wonderful conversations. I totally recommend Banff Trail Riders to anyone, even those who have very little riding experience. Thank you for a wonderful experience.

Our guide Lola was fabulous. Lola’s attention to detail was superb. A great adventure for all of us and climbing up to the Sundance Lodge was beautiful. The horses are very well behaved and friendly. Highly recommend the adventure!
