With over 1000 head of cattle and 3000 acres there is something for everyone at Riverwood Ranch. We are also happy to announce that we have built a brand new 80x200 indoor riding arena and community Center so that we can ride all year round! With a variety of trails to pick from, Riverwood is an exciting destination for both the beginner and experienced rider. Bring your own horses, or rent one of ours for a variety of events.

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at Riverwood Ranch! 🍂🦃

All I can say is that I am truly, truly thankful.

What a wild week it has been! Life sure has a way of reminding you what really matters. After Dad was involved in a pretty serious accident that left him with a dislocated hip and far too many broken ribs, I am beyond thankful that he is okay and on the road to recovery. ❤️

In the middle of all the chaos, we were lucky enough to have two of my favourite past apprentices return to help with roundup! Our Swedish posse, Rebecka and Ellin! We also had an overwhelming amount of help from Eva, Clint, Richard, Logan, Gilbert, Lindsey, and so many wonderful neighbours, friends, and family members who stepped up when we needed them most. I don’t think I could ever properly express how grateful I am for this crew.

Somehow, amongst all the craziness, we managed to enjoy two incredible Thanksgiving suppers surrounded by some of the people I love most.

And in true ranching fashion, Thanksgiving didn’t exactly end after supper! Here we are, riding until 11 PM, saving a bloated calf, and celebrating a three-year-old horse’s first canter. You really can’t make this stuff up!

So as I stand in the barn at 11 PM, taking a very late Happy Thanksgiving photo, exhausted and probably looking a little worse for wear, I can’t help but smile.

Because at the end of the day, I have so much to be thankful for.

Thankful for Dad’s recovery. Thankful for old friends coming back together. Thankful for the incredible people who show up when life gets tough. Thankful for the patience and understanding of our Riverwood family as we navigate this crazy month. And thankful for this wild, unpredictable, exhausting, beautiful ranching life that I wouldn’t trade for anything.

Sometimes the weeks that test you the most are the ones that remind you just how blessed you really are.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. From our crazy little corner of the world to yours. ❤️

First River Crossing Today hit us all in the Feels

As promised, here’s the Day 2 recap from our summer Grand Gallopers Horse Camp!

Somehow, Day 2 was even better than Day 1.

Looking back at this camp makes me realize all over again just how much I love horse camp. It was one of my absolute favourite things as a kid, and now getting to give our students that same experience — the horses, the friendships, the adventures, the laughs, and the memories — might be even better.

There’s just something pretty special about horse camp, no matter how old you are. Long live horse camp!

As everyone settles back into school, we realized we never shared the videos from our Grand Gallopers Overnight Horse Camp!

This camp was easily one of our favourites yet. Two jam-packed days of horses, learning, games, challenges, laughs, and some pretty great memories with an awesome group of kids.

Here’s a look back at Day 1 of Grand Gallopers! Stay tuned — Day 2 is coming tomorrow!

Final Day of the September clinic included river trails, herding cattle and the most heartfelt goodbye. Thank you to everyone who came out for an unforgettable Riverwood Clinic

Day Two and somehow it just keeps getting better!

The horsemanship stepped up, the confidence grew, and we got OUTSIDE! We spent the day putting our skills to work with drills, challenges, and plenty of time in the saddle.

There’s something pretty awesome about watching everything start to click — better communication, better feel, and better partnerships between horse and rider.

Day Two was a GOOD one. Can’t wait to see how we finish this clinic off!
