Cardinal Ranch is a working horse ranch in the heart of the Canadian Rockies.
Our mission is to develop both people and horses towards their true potential, 'naturally’. A ranch setting, family atmosphere and all that mother nature has to offer provide an escape from the ordinary. Indoor & outdoor arenas, round pens, obstacles, playgrounds, pond, cattle & trails. It’s all here to help take you and your relationship with your horse to the next level.
‘Horsemanship can be obtained naturally through communication, understanding and psychology, rather than fear, mechanics and intimidation’
....
‘Feel is like smell, you need to experience it for yourself.’
....
‘If you haven’t, you should. Because it’s fun, and FUN is good.’
