| The Red Willow Ranch is basically a Working Guest Ranch, where guests are allowed to join in with the work if they wish to |
| Come and be with horses every day, riding without limits, take a walk or enjoy a picnic in the middle of nowhere -on your |
| own or with a friend - or gallop to feel the breeze brush your face ... no worries about traffic, smog or work. Go riding all |
| day - and in the evening, sit around a campfire, watch the horses in the fields, the silent forest nearby, or watch moose, |
| bear or deer meander along the distant trails. If you are lucky you will be serenade a bunch of coyotes howling in the |
| distance. You will find this tranquillity in the South Cariboo: Canada's True West, where cowboys drive their cattle and |
| display their skills in famous rodeos which you can attend from May through September. On your arrival you are assigned a |
| horse according to your ability and when you are comfortable with the horse you are free to ride and explore on your own |
| -no "nose to tail follow the leader" trail riding at this ranch! The ranch will provide a map and a packed lunch - but if you feel |
| more comfortable riding in a group you can do that as well. The horses - Appaloosas, Quarter Horses, Canadian Saddle |
| Horses and Standard Breed - are good tempered and well trained to match the guest's pace for the rider's enjoyment. |
| As a working ranch, they harvest their own hay, work the cows and calves which graze on the range from May to |
| October. From time to time they have to be moved to different areas to avoid overgrazing and in fall there is the "Round-Up" |
| of the cattle. Guests are welcomed to join the cowboys as they work the stock .Lessons in western riding are included in |
| the rate. |
| The guest house has a large lounge with an open fireplace - a great place to relax after a day of riding and exploring. |
| During the winter months horseback riding is offered weather permitting. There are cross-country ski trails nearby and at Mt. |
| Timothy, a short drive from the ranch, downhill skiing is possible (16 runs). Of course you can go on a sleigh ride and if you |
