Dreamscape Ranch - where Bed and Breakfast charm meets Guest Ranch hospitality!

Horseback Riding

Dreamscape Ranch is a combination of Horse Ranch and Guest Ranch situated on 160 acres, and there are great Horseback Riding opportunities for our guests here just south of Kamloops in the amazing grasslands of the Thompson Okanagan region of British Columbia (B.C.) Canada.

Here at Dreamscape horses are definitely our passion, and like most Horse Ranches we have a string of our own horses for riding but we are also proud to provide a number of other valuable horse related services which include boarding and rehabilitation.

Trail Riding

To quote Winston Churchill, "No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle" and that is especially true when you experience horseback riding out in open country.

We offer guided trail rides for our guests where they can experience a wonderful mix of landscapes and flora, including forested areas, open grasslands and wetlands. There are a lot of free-range cattle, and it's not uncommon to see wildlife which may include deer, coyotes, and occasionally  moose and black bears (but no rattle snakes).

Please note: Trail riding is provided for ranch guests only, and is not available for casual or 'drop in' visitors.

Use Of Dreamscape Ranch Horses:

At most Ranches the cost of your horseback riding is already included in your nightly accommodation fee (so you end up paying for horseback riding whether you actually participate or not) but at Dreamscape Ranch we to treat your horseback riding separately, so you only pay for the time you are actually in the saddle.

  • Trail ride (subject to rider ability): $30.00 per hour.

  • Horsemanship/Riding lessons: $35.00 per hour.

Horsemanship and Horseback Riding Lessons

We provide our guests with horseback riding opportunities suitable for riders of various abilities but our main objective is for your experience to be a safe and happy one! With that in mind, in additional to offering trail riding, we also have a large outdoor riding arena and round-pen with excellent footing for general exercise, training and instruction.

Horsemanship and horseback riding lessons are available to guests during their stay at Dreamscape Ranch. Please contact us to discuss how we can help you with your riding!

  • Horsemanship/Riding Lessons: $35.00 per hour.

Horseback Riding Policy

While we want everyone to have an enjoyable ranch experience, safety is our number one priority when it comes to horseback riding. Due to this Dreamscape Ranch has the following horseback riding policy in place:

  • All guests must sign a liability waiver before being permitted to work with the horses on the ground or in the saddle.

  • We reserve the right to require novice riders to take a Horsemanship/Riding Lesson before being permitted out on the trails.

  • Large and/or heavy people may not be able to ride if a horse of the appropriate size and temperament is not available.

  • We reserve the right to limit or restrict horseback riding for any reason which, in our judgment, may risk the safety of either the rider or horse.

  • Horseback/trail riding is provided for ranch guests only, and is not available for casual or 'drop in' visitors.
     

Bed and Bale

Have you ever thought that the perfect holiday partner might just be... your horse? Combine our Horse Boarding with our great trail riding and the fact that Dreamscape is also a Guest Ranch, we might just provide the best Bed and Bale experience that you'll ever have.

Have a look at the "Guest Ranch Stay" or "Bed and Breakfast" for yourself and let us know what type of "accommodation" is required for your horse. We charge $15.00 a night to bed your horse which includes our local hay - the only thing we ask is, if you require specialized feed for your horse, you bring it with you.

Full Horse Board

Dreamscape Ranch provides quality full horse boarding services that emphasize a peaceful, pleasant and safe environment for both horse and rider. All horse breeds are welcome for boarding at the Ranch.

Because we're on 160 acres it gives us the ability to let horses live happily and comfortably as nature intended - outdoors. The horses are placed in herd groups that best suit their personalities and they are given beautiful spacious pastures in which to roam and graze to their contentment.

The horses are personally attended to every day, have easy access to water and natural shelters, as well as three-sided loafing sheds built to provide dry and secure shelter from the elements.
