Description
My Name is Katy and I run guided horseback outfit near Valemount British Columbia Canada(Cowgirl Up Adventures). I run small guided trail rides in the Canadian Rockies. I am a certified riding instructor and teach english and western riding lessons. I also start colts and train horses. I own 27 horses and live on 40 acres of wilderness in the Canadian Rockies. I live here with my husband Herb, daughter Sarah, and 4 dogs. If you are looking to get away and immerse yourself in horses and nature, this is the place!

We live completely off grid. upgraded camping living. Power is obtained from solar power and a generator. Water comes from a gravity fed system. We have a 5 bedroom sleeper unit that is warm, clean, and safe. We have an outdoor communal kitchen. We have 2 outhouses - no flush toilets. We have 3 showers (2 indoors and one outdoor). We have starlink internet that we run via generator when needed - usually in the evenings.
What else ...
We are quiet and peaceful. We live 25mins from the nearest town. We frequently make trips to town for supplies. We enjoy hiking, fishing, boating, quading etc.. The ranch is a beautiful and fun place on its own. Nice to just sit around the fire and enjoy! There are many things to see and do here from river rafting to just enjoying nature. It is very quiet and out of the way.
