If you’re looking for a place to go trail riding, you’ve come
to the right place! Ottawa and surrounding area is home to an enormously
dynamic horse industry with over 84 equestrian stables—several of
them offer scenic trail riding. What better way to enjoy the beauty of
the national capital region than on horseback? It’s a slower pace
that will allow you the full appreciation of the natural environment and
surrounding countryside. Other services these stables may offer are horse-drawn
carriages for weddings, sleigh and hay rides, overnight camping and summer
day camps. Visit their websites to learn more details of their equine
offerings.
