▶️Guests are asked to use hand sanitizers available on arrival and departure.

When can my kids ride horses again?

Harding Heights Ranch is a responsible small business in the West Kootenays that provides a wonderful service for kids and families.

Earlier this year, they made the decision to shut down their Horse Camps because of the pandemic sweeping North America and the World out of safety for kids in this area that love horses. They have been waiting patiently for this pandemic to subside before considering opening things up again.

Later in September, there are plans for a soft opening of the ranch to the public for horseback riding. Shauntelle Harding and Irene Harding will let people know more about this in later September 2020.

I assist them with managing their Harding Heights Ranch website at hardingheightsranch.com and it will be exciting to see kids riding horses again later this year. Randall McCallum Site Administrator
