My husband and I would like to thank Horseback Adventures Ltd. for helping to make our 10 day trip into the Willmore such a wonderful and most memorable experience. For years, we have hiked into and out of the backcountry hauling our own food, water and camping equipment on our backs and I must say that it is definitely not as much fun as having Horseback Adventures Ltd. do it for us! Tom and his staff not only transported our gear into the Willmore, but each day, they also prepared our delicious breakfasts, lunches, and suppers along with brewing endless cups of hot tea and coffee on top of the wood burning stove. As well, they ensured that our cool mornings and evenings were warmed with campfires and shared with us their abundance of warm hospitality. Our main concern each day was just in deciding where in the Willmore we were going to have fun hiking to. The ridge walks were particularly spectacular because they afforded us the perfect lunch spots from which to view sweeping panoramas of other peaks and valleys. The beauty and serenity of the Willmore together with the highly competent staff who make up Horseback Adventure Ltd. made our vacation memorably fun…you’ve made it hard to return to city life again.

How do I even start describing our experience in the Willmore with Tom Vinson and his staff? I will start simply by saying that my husband Michael and I had a spectacular time in the Willmore. The 'Vinson Team' was incredibly well organized, and so helpful, polite and efficient. What a pleasure for us "stressed out A-type personalities" to have a great breakfast, spend the entire day hiking, hiking, and more hiking in the most gorgeous scenery in the entire Rockies, and only worry about being back in time for an excellent supper. We greatly appreciated the time taken to talk to us about the horses, and more importantly, to see how well cared for these animals are. The camps were clean and well organized, and with the camp fire and coffee/tea always hot, we had some great discussions, some of which still make me laugh. There is no way that I would ever venture with another horse-based group because of the very high standards they set.

Once again we have many happy memories of our ride near Brule. Quentin, Teresa, Ralph and Andrea were wonderful riding companions and they did everything they could to keep us comfortable, safe and happy.
Ken & I sure enjoyed that hot coffee in your kitchen on our return to your ranch. Thanks for that treat.
