Our Trail Rides are in small private groups from 1 to 5 guests from the same party. We meet at the Maple Heart Ranch - Homestead. Depending on the riding experience of the guest, I pick the horse suitable for each guest. The guests will get, to brush and help saddle the horses and get them ready. I do help, where help is needed. This way the horse and the rider will get to know each other and can build a relationship.

After that we will ride to the Trans Canada Trail. The trail leads into old grow forest and along the Shawnigan Creek, different terrains and elevation makes it an interesting ride for beginners and experienced riders. We will be back around 3pm.

In this fermentation power hour, you'll learn how to make kombucha, kombucha vinegar, and unique flavor combinations.
