Hi All!
Old man winter seems to be settling in here in the Kootenays... I guess we just have to make the best of it and dress a little warmer to play outside!
We are now booking for Horse Drawn Christmas Light Tours for the month of December and first week of January. The Christmas wagon holds up to 10 adults (more if kids) and the rides are still ~ 20 minutes long. The cost to book the whole wagon is $175.00. Drop in is $20.00/adult and $12.00/child ages 3+. Our schedule is as follows; December 3rd we are booked for Montrose family day, December 11th we are booked out in Castlegar. The days that are still avaliable for bookings are December 14 & 18 (16 if we have the interest), 21st, 23rd (one spot left at 6:30pm), 26th, 28th, 30th and January 1st and 4th. We only book 3 runs/night between 5:00pm and 7:30pm so hurry up and book now! Areas we will run are Glenmerry, Shaver's Bench, Tadanac & Montrose but we have to have at least all 3 runs booked to make it worth our while. For other locations please call or email.
The Equine Assisted Learning Program has been great... Yay!! We graduated our two fall groups on November 18th and we are very proud of all their efforts and accompishments. Equine Assisted Learning focusses on team interactive youth programs (proactive & rehabilitative) working at building life skills in a fun, creative, hands on environment with the horses. We are currently looking to book a couple of groups for the spring sessions starting at the end of March. Maximum group size will be 6 kids. This is a great addition to Harding Heights Ranch Ltd. and we are excited to offer it to our communities as this program really gets results and is a wonderful way for the kids to experience experential learning; active learning in a fun, creative environment! The Trail Daily times has run an article on the EAL pilot group and you can access that at: http://www.bclocalnews.com/kootenay_rockies/traildailytimes/news/125033224.html
Facilitators include Leah Hope RN/Certified EAL facilitator and Myself. Please email me at

Lessons are still ever so popular. We continue to accept new students so if you have or know of someone who is wanting some real horse time and the knowledge of how to properly take care of them then please give us a call. We teach lessons in horsemanship and basic western riding. Our methods are of Natural Horsemanship which is building a bond between horse and rider with language, love and leadership.
We also offer GIFT CERTIFICATES which is a great idea for Christmas!
Children's Birthday Parties are a hit! If you have a winter or spring birthday it is no problem, for an extra $10.00 we offer a fire and you can bring hot dogs and marshmallows to roast. You can read up on the birthday parties in our Q and A's section. The kids have a blast and love living life on a farm for an afternoon where they get to pet, hold and feed all of the animals, ride a horse and play on the tire swings! Book your party today!
Winter Trail Rides are always beautiful with the snow and the cool crisp air! Come out and enjoy the serenity of being on the back of a horse while it guides you though a winter wonderland. Bring your camera as there will be lots of view points and photo ops!
That's all for now folks =) Looking forward to seeing everybody this holiday season!
Happy winter,
