You can instantly see that the horses at Broken Rail Ranch are loved and well cared for, and they are a joy to ride! We went on an afternoon beginner ride with Melissa and had a spectacular time riding Maui and Ilya. The reservation was easy (through text), pricing was fair, and the experience was unforgettable. Stop searching, book now if you’ll be in Kelowna!

My mother and I had a great time at Broken Rail Ranch Trail Rides mid October. Ashley had posted an even through a group on Facebook and we put down a 20$ deposit to reserve our spot and it was a great time! As a first timer and my mother who hadnt ridden since elementary it was great. Ashley made us feel very safe on Kitty and Maui. Price was great.

My husband I thoroughly enjoyed a 2hr classic ride. Leonora our guide made us feel at ease as we both hadn't riden for 5yrs plus and at 55 and 61 we hope we were still able too. We have both experienced riding in various parts of the world and this was the best ever. We felt so safe on smokey and Malabo . Beautiful well kept horses. I would highly recommend broken ranch stables

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.

The 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!!

My son and I had the pleasure of meeting Jeff at his ranch on Sept 22/21. From the initial email, to reserving our ride, and then arriving at the ranch the service was top notch. We had the pleasure of riding with Lenore and Breanne who were both wonderful and informative of the area. The scenery was beautiful and the horses gentle and well taken care of. If we ever end up back in the area we'll definitely visit again. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. <3

I took my family to celebrate my daughters birthday. We had the best time EVER. Jeff and Crystal made us all feel extremely comfortable during the ride. These memories will stay with us for a lifetime. Highly recommend this experience.

I had the most incredible experience with Broken Rail Ranch!
Firstly, you can tell that these horses are so loved and cared for. Money is not the #1 name of the game for this ranch. Most of the horses are rescues and the staff clearly respect them. As a rider that hasn't been on a horse in years, Olivia and Alicia were supportive, fun, kind and knowledgeable. They paired us with the most incredible horses- Smokey and Maui who stole our hearts! I felt safe at all times and had so much fun! The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish; easy to book with quick responses and reminders.... fun and knowledgeable staff..... gorgeous, well cared for, sweet horses....and beautiful views. I can't recommend this place enough.
Thanks again Broken Rail Ranch! We'll be back many more times this summer :)

Booked the Lake View ride and honestly it was really nice. Lorena our guide was very patient with us and the horses are well behaved and loved.
It was my husband and I alone with her and she made sure we were comfortable the entire way. I would definitely recommend the ranch and activity.
