About horseback riding in Ottawa
Ottawa is one of the few major Canadian cities where countryside sits a short drive from downtown, and that shapes the local equestrian scene. The city itself and the village of Carp together account for nearly a third of the 21 listings catalogued in our directory, complemented by facilities in Clarence-Rockland, Osgoode, Gloucester, Cumberland, Sarsfield and Carlsbad Springs that form an east-west belt around the capital. The area draws both recreational riders and serious boarders, with lessons, full-board, trail riding and flatwork making up the core of services offered. Proximity to Quebec also broadens the rider base, with stables on both sides of the Ottawa River within easy reach.
