The History of Horseback
Adventures Ltd.
Major Fred Brewster started
it all. He began outfitting pre 1908 by packing for survey
and coal exploration companies. With his help, the coal
mines in Nordegg and the British Colories on Jaspers south
boundary were founded. He then moved to Jasper and became
the largest horse operator, providing pack trips and trail
rides throughout the Park.
My father Tom Sr. Came to Jasper
and began employment with Brewsters Company in 1939. My
mom Yvette came to work at Jasper Park Lodge where she met
my dad and they were married in 1947. They purchased the
business from Fred Brewster in 1955 which included pack
trips into Tonquin Valley, Skyline, and trail rides at the
pony barns at Jasper Park Lodge
In 1979 Horseback Adventures
Ltd. was formed when I took over the backcountry pack trips
and trail rides into Jasper and Willmore Parks from my dad.
West Range Cabin Vacations were added to the operation in
1996, where along with the backcountry trail rides, we enjoy
providing pack trips to clients from around the world.
The Three Step brand that is
placed on the right shoulder of all our horses was registered
by Mr. Brewster in the early 1900's and is still used today.
You will see it on our horses and in our logo. A mark of
tradition and trail riding in the Canadian Rockies for almost
a century.
