All riding groups are kept small. Our guests are usually
intermediate riders allowing us to enjoy great canters through the forests or across open
meadows. All riders should be able to canter and be comfortable in the saddle for the
Lodge Riding. Many of our guests do not ride regularly, and need a few rides or lessons
before their vacation to feel comfortable in the saddle again. It will make your trip to
Tsylos Park Lodge all that much better!
Our Lodge Riding Package is a 7-night stay. We start out on the first afternoon
introducing you toyour horse for the week and head out for a wonderful first ride. Each
day we ride a little bit further and a little bit faster. We like to travel in all three
gaits and think that our riding days are a great mix. Each day after breakfast we head up
to the horses and with a lunch packed in our saddlebags, we head out for a new day of
exploration on our network of horse trails. You will ride through the forests, along the
mighty Chilko River, up Chilko Lake, to the peak of Mt. Tullin, and visit Choelquoit Lake
and the ancient Xeni Gwetin graveyard.
Tree riding is a big part of your week. We like to take some of our windy trails at a fast
trot or slow canter; we even named one of our rides as the "roller coaster". It
is great for stretching your ability and improving your confidence. It is a lot of fun and
we know that you will love it! We always take one day out of the week to head up 52
mile-long Chilko Lake for a tour and some casual fishing. This lake is a true wonder!
Surrounded by glaciers and towering peaks, the scenery is unmatched.
For this trip you will be staying at Tsylos Park Lodge and returning back home to a
wonderful evening meal, cold drinks, time by the fireplace and a relaxing hot tub under
the stars. It is also a great trip combined with our Mountain Pack Trip, which takes you
far into the backcountry of Chilko Lake and the surrounding mountains.
