Welcome to Ride the Wind Ranch

We found exactly what we were looking for during our Canada trip at your ranch: welcoming hosts, the best ever horses, splendid horseback riding -working the Texas Longhorns was a special experience- lots to learn about Alberta sitting by the campfire (thanks Hans) and last but not least the wonderful meals (thanks Kathy). The days went by way too fast, but we'll return to this great place.
