Calgary & Area
Watch world-renowned show jumping before overnighting at a guest ranch and bonding with their horses.
A Local Favourite Spruce Meadows
World-class show jumping tournaments are held throughout the year at this premier equestrian facility. And yes, Spruce Meadows is also a major Heartland filming location! Families especially love its large outdoor playground, lush grounds and visiting the horses in the East and West Meadows Barn.
Rocking R Guest Ranch
Surrounded by nature, this guest ranch has all the amenities to provide legit cowboy experiences. The cozy yet luxurious cabins are kitted out with full kitchens and fireplaces. And if you need a little help decompressing, there’s an outdoor hot tub plus a massage room to help speed up the process.
Horse Grooming Experience
With stables mere steps away from the cabins, guests can easily fall out of bed and into the saddle. Those not yet ready to gallop off into the sunset can ease themselves into cowboy life. During grooming experiences, guests bond with horses as they learn brushing and cleaning techniques.
Trail Ride
It’s time to giddy up! From an introduction to horseback riding to trotting through the Canadian Rockies, you can choose your own equine adventure. Riders are set up for success with a picnic lunch and expert instruction. But first you’ll learn how to catch a horse in the field – for real.
TIP FROM A LOCAL
Experience a vibrant community and art scene with a performance from nearby Rosebud Theatre.
