- AmyLynnV7 contributionsBest Surprise DateThe staff and guides were excellent. I had never gone on a trail ride before, I’d only been on a horse once or twice in my life and to be honest was a little terrified of them growing up as they are such huge majestic animals.. I’m even hesitant to feed the ones who live in a field behind my house (I’ll give them carrots from a distance but never right from my hand). For our anniversary my boyfriend surprised me today and took us to ‘The Broken Rail Ranch.’ Our guides Savanah & Kiera were wonderful and went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time & were comfortable! My horse was great. I even fed her with a flat hand prior to our ride (yay me! Baby steps Haha). The ranch was very fun and professional. I was able to trot and even do a canter for a few meters!! (Now was this the same girl who was terrified at the start?? Heck yes!) It was an Amazing date day with my boyfriend and a day I won’t soon forget. I would highly recommend this ranch for couples looking for a fun creative date idea to get out in nature and maybe push out of your comfort zone as well, or families or first time riders like myself. You won’t regret it :) Thanks again!! Amy (& Yann)Visited April 2022Travelled as a coupleWritten November 30, 2022

Thank you to Jeff, Crystal and the entire Broken Rail Ranch team.
All of us hadn’t rode in years, the team was very reassuring and provided an excellent lesson and trail ride. The horses are very well cared for looking forward to our next visit.

We had such a great trail ride! The booking was super easy and the hosts even made our special request work. The horses are beautiful and well trained and the guides are relaxed and competent. We had some great views and just enjoyed the landscape so much on the forest trail.
We would definitely recommend to go on a trail ride with broken rail ranch.

My wife and I were on our honeymoon and decided to try horseback riding for the first time!
Jeff and the team were all very hands on with the horses and you could tell they cared for the animals. They made sure we all knew how to control the horse in a safe and responsible manner. They were all very friendly and made sure if there was any “uneasiness” about riding a horse, it was gone by the time we were ready to ride!
I had a great experience and would recommend this place to anyone!

What a fantastic trail ride!! Crystal greeted us, got us all registered then fitted us out with cowboy boots and riding helmets. We then got matched with our horses. A little instruction on how to ride western with an open rein and off we went. We were 2 of 6 guests on our ride and we had three guides go with us so a very personal riding experience with a guide for every two riders to make sure everything was good and no one got into trouble. Fun ride through the forest trails with a few hills, both up and down, but nothing too difficult. And then we came out to the lake view. Spectacular!! After a great photo session we headed back to the ranch. Whole experience was two and a half hours. Special thanks to our guide, Lorena, she was a super guide and fun to talk to. Highly recommend this place for trail riding. Great family run ranch with excellent horses. Most of the guides were from Germany, all fluent in English, and working for the summer in Canada, so if you are visiting from Germany then great place for you too!!

Such an amazing experience. We had a wonderful trail ride celebrating our mother 90th. We had people who has never ridden, people with disabilities and people who were experienced and they were able to accommodate all of us. Crystal and Jeff are amazing and their staff is even better. We even enjoyed Jeff’s dad jokes on the ride. I would go back in a heart beat and highly recommend them for anyone wanting an adventure.
