Horsin Around, Calgary

At Horsin Around, Calgary's cowboys and cowgirls get their share of equine fun through trail rides, lessons, camps, and other special events. Open to riders as young as 10, trail rides trot through meadows filled with deer and cattle. Horsin Around's friendly instructors show every rider the basics before rides begin, including how to cue the horse to walk and how to flip on the horse's turn signals. If visitors want to become experts themselves, they can delve further with group or private lessons. Each lesson lasts 45 minutes and includes 15 minutes of ground work and a half hour of riding on a training horse. Guests can also enjoy activities at Horsin Around during birthday parties, corporate functions, and throughout the holiday season, when sleigh rides begin to roll across the property.
