Spring Riding

Spring Riding at Silver Spur Trails Wilderness Ranch is in full swing! The horses are amazing after a whole winter of rest, full of energy and happy to be back on the trails! While we ride we check the trails for downfall and clear them on the way. The ground is still soft and perfect for barefeet riding. We had the Ferrier out to trim for the usual spring trim and we sill shoe the horses as needed.
This is the time to book a horseback ride or ranch-stay with us if you don't like crowd. Come and get to know some of our amazing trails and experience some great riding. For bookings or information please contact us or visit our website for more information.

Michaela is from Germany and is a staff member at Silver Spur Trails this season. Not only is Michaela an experienced horse woman, she is also a hard worker helping with all ranch tasks. Today she was busy pruning the fruit trees. Silver Spur Trails has it's own orchard with apple, pear, cherry and plum trees, all organic.
Spring is also the time to get the vegetable garden ready for planting and the  berry bushes have to be pruned. The garlic we planted in fall is peaking out and lets us hope for a good crop.
We like to share our sustainable and healthy lifestyle  with our guests and visitors to the ranch.

Business Showcase Lumby BC

Silver Spur Trails was taking part on the Business Showcase in Lumby yesterday with an amazing turnout. The Cowboy Chili and Cowboy cookies was a big hit and the pot was empty before the end of the event.
There was a huge interest in our Ranch Vacations and Horse Riding Packages as well as the Tipi Adventures and Horse Pack Trips. Many locals didn't know that we existed and were excited about having a guest ranch like ours right in their community.
The winner of our contest for a 2-hour mountain ride is John Mac Dougall, congratulation. We are looking forward to take you on a ride!


Please check out our Website for more information about the ranch and the adventures we offer.
