Become a pioneer adventurer or cowboy for the day at the Jasper Riding Stables just 5 minutes from Jasper in the Jasper National Park, Canada.
The riding stables were formerly Pyramid Stables, named after Pyramid Mountain which towers above the stables.
You can ride out into the Canadian Rockies and see the spectacular views, wildlife, rivers, Pyramid Lake, Cabin Lake, forests and mountains. The local animals which you may see along the way include elk, deer and even bears.
The riding stables can cater for all levels of ability, whether you're an experienced rider or never been near a horse. The stables are home to more than 50 horses of all ages and sizes, they are well looked after and trained mountain horses.
The staff will pick out a horse that best suits your age, size and riding ability.
