Sunset Horseback Riding in the Quebec Appalachian
Discover the magic of the Appalachian Mountains at sunset on a unique horseback ride where blazing light and mountainous landscapes meet.
The start of the activity varies depending on the season and begins approximately one hour before sunset to allow you to fully enjoy the changing colors of the sky.
Upon arrival, each participant will be paired with a horse based on your size and experience. You will then take the time to build trust with your mount by brushing it. Once the helmets are adjusted, the group heads to the riding arena for a short introduction to the basics of horsemanship. This fenced-in area allows everyone to safely familiarize themselves with riding techniques before setting out on the ride.
The adventure continues on our mountain trails, between hayfields and maple forests, in the heart of a peaceful and verdant setting, enveloped by the tranquility of twilight. Halfway through the hike, we'll stop at the summit to offer you a moment of rest and a breathtaking view of the valley and Lake William, bathed in the warm hues of sunset. This is the perfect moment to admire the landscape and capture unforgettable memories. 📸
Back at the stables, we'll conclude by thanking our horses for this wonderful experience.

Ce fut un point fort de notre voyage, une expérience merveilleuse. Nous sommes arrivés par une soirée pluvieuse pour une balade au coucher du soleil, Jurg nous a accueilli avec gentillesse et patience. Nous avons adoré rencontrer tous les animaux et aider à préparer les chevaux pour la balade. La pluie s'est adoucie et nous avons pu profiter d'un beau coucher de soleil. Cet endroit rayonne d'amour et vous pouvez sentir à quel point les Jurg et Sandra adorent ces animaux et cette terre.

10/10 expérience ! C'était la première fois que je prenais un cheval et Jurg a été si patiente, gentille et informative en nous apprenant les bases de la façon de se familiariser avec le cheval et comment monter. L'expérience a été merveilleuse . Il y a tellement d'autres animaux à voir à la ferme, sans parler de la vue sur la montagne au coucher du soleil avec les chevaux, c'était magique .
