About riding lessons in Kootenays

Cranbrook is the hub for instruction in the Kootenays. Windover Ranch, along Highway 95A (4.6 across 22 reviews), runs a riding school alongside sport coaching. Pat Pighin's International Equestrian Centre, also in Cranbrook, keeps a string of gentle school horses and is a well-liked entry point for new riders. Along Highway 93, Freespirit Horsemanship takes a thoughtful, well-rounded approach to teaching the craft. Several of these operations are small and personal, which means limited spots — compare their approaches, then contact the stable directly to ask about availability.
