Happy Father's Day, to all of them out there ❤️ current, past and expecting fathers.

Moments with parents will always be moments treasured (even those only treasured in reminiscing 😉) The moments you share with your children, and they share with you shape each into fuller individuals.

Thank you fathers for all the lessons learned 🙏❤️

Thermopsis Rhombifolia-Golden Bean, Buffalo Bean.

A gorgeous yellow, early summer May-June, flower found throughout Southern Alberta.

It has some traditional uses as a: gastrointestinal medicine, flushing out other unpleasant components as well as a yellow dye derived from the flower.

The entire plant does contain toxic alkaloids which can cause severe illness in children and has at times been suspected of contributing, or being the cause of death in livestock.

Dodecathon pulchellum, Shooting Star, is a wildflower that blooms in the late spring/early summer (late May-early July) going dormant after blooming till the following year.

With 17 species variations worldwide, only 2 are found in SW Alberta and Kananaskis regions. The mountain and the saline, are found on and around the ranch. Hard to determine which subspecies is which, the mountain variety has "hairy" leaves.

A traditional indigenous use of the Shooting Star flower was infusing the roots and leaves into a solution for eyewash, and the flowers into a beautiful pink dye.

While riding, hiking or exploring, this summer keep your eyes open for these beautiful flowers, since they're only with us for a short time 😍

We finally have a Crocus blooming on the ridge 😍
Spring in Alberta can be a fickle season, but these beautiful flowers are our main indication that spring the consistent warm weather is on its way.

They bloom in great numbers pretty quickly, so if you're walking in the foothills keep your eyes open for these lovely flowers.

This past weekend we were pleased to support SPOTLIGHT ON EQUINE VET PRACTICE by providing horses for various treatments. The event, hosted by the Burwash Clinic, gave vet students from across Canada the opportunity to see what equine vets do. It required a bit of work to get our trucks & trailers rolling at -40 degrees, but worth the effort. As a bonus, the 36 participating horses got to spend a few hours indoors de-thawing.

The Kananaskis winter gates opened this morning and that marks the beginning of the mountain riding season 🤠
If you haven't ridden on a mountain day ride it is certainly an experience that will take you places few people see, and on a horse enabling you to take in all the scenery.

Plans this Family Day? Why not spend the day creating memories while burning off some steam at the same time?
Join us at Moose Mountain Horseback Ranch as we guide you on an interpretive snowshoe walk through the forest to a private lake. Bring your skates for an old fashion family pond skate, then gather round the fire for some hot beverages, bannock and laughs. We provide the snowshoes, you bring the energy.

We were out grooming the track around the lake yesterday. It drifted in again today, so I guess we’ll be back at it tomorrow.

We’re not all about trail rides, we snow shoe too. Bring your friends, family or work colleagues to the ranch this winter for some fresh air, fun and camaraderie while on a guided snowshoe walk through the forest of the foothills.

We will lead you on an interpretive journey through the silent forest. As we make our way to a private lake you will learn about nature and some traditional winter skills that the indigenous people taught early settlers. Once at the lake we will enjoy a hot beverage and bannock by a fire. If you can’t beat winter join it!

Finally getting around to posting some pictures from the Alberta Drifter ride we completed 5 June. Over 8 days of riding we enjoyed mountains, foothills, prairies and finally the Cypress Hills. Weather was as perfect as it can be in late May/early June.

This morning the horses seem to have overslept their alarm so I walked out to call them in. I got rewarded by them cantering past, like people who realize they are late for work.

Had such a great evening hosting our first lawn concert ("lawncert") of the 2021 season featuring the very talented and entertaining Mariel Buckley. It was a perfect evening with perfect weather, no bugs, happy people and even happier dogs. Already looking forward to the next concert on 31 July featuring the Swing Poets Jazz Band!

You might have heard about the heat wave across Western Canada, and are wondering how the horses are doing. Luckily it has ‘only’ been reaching the mid-30’s in the foothills at 1350m above sea level. Evenings are cooling off to a bearable 15 degrees. None the less, we’ve adapted by not booking any afternoon rides, and we’re turning the horses out to pasture after lunch. Oddly, they still seem to prefer hanging out in the meadow rather than the shady woods. Perhaps the breeze is better than shade. Things are going to start cooling off tomorrow, with a good chance of rain showers. Keep your fingers crossed!
