Guests participating in horseback riding will need to be 8 years or over and a maximum of 230lbs. Banff Trail Riders is committed to the health of our horses and the safety of our guests, which means that the minimum age and maximum weight requirements are strictly enforced. As part of the check-in process, guests may be required to confirm their current weight on a scale and provide proof of the child’s age. In the event that these requirements are not met, the booking will be forfeited without a refund.
Riders must be physically capable of controlling the horse during the ride without assistance and for the health and safety of all riders we regrettably cannot accommodate any disabilities or special needs riders. We recognize that disabled riding is a unique and respected skill set that we at the barns do not have the appropriate equipment or skills to safely execute.

Please note that children will not be paired with an adult – they must ride their own horse.
For safety purposes helmets are mandatory to be worn by all riders.
All riders must arrive 30 minutes prior to their ride time.

Really enjoyed this activity. The girls were brilliant fun telling stories about the local history and wildlife. Views were great and managed to see some elk too.

You won't find this on any of their webpages or information but they use rescue horses which proved difficult to ride for some members of the group we were with. I don't know why the company doesn't advertise they use rescue horses. I suppose, if they had advertised that information, I would have chosen a different tour company

Beautiful ride! Fantastic guides and very well mannered horses. We loved every minute, got to see bits of the river we wouldn’t have. Highly recommend!

One hour Ride was simple and enjoyable. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful.
Trail characteristics were OK. Along street wasn’t desirable but a short distance. Balance of trail was through forested area with river crossings & river falls view. Would have preferred to stop a short time at the falls.

Good experience weather was on our side which helped. Bit bumpy in places an hour was enough for us. Going through the spray river was good make sure you read the small print about weight and being there 30mins before
