Glen Valley Stables

🐴 Sometimes, you don’t choose the horse. The horse chooses you. ❤️

At Glen Valley Stables, matching the right horse with the right rider is a big part of what we do.

Before every ride, we take a little time to meet our riders, get a feel for their personalities and consider which of our horses might be the perfect match. And more often than not, we hear those magic words when the ride is over:

“You picked the perfect horse for me!” 🥰

This week, Goose was Mom’s mount for her ride with her son. But once they returned from the trails and spent some time visiting with the horses, something pretty special happened.

Goose and her son found their own little moment. ❤️

Mom snapped this photo of the two of them completely in the zone, and we were thrilled when she gave us permission to share it.

THIS is what we love about what we do.

It’s not all about riding horses.
It’s about connecting with them.
It’s making memories.
And sometimes, it’s about meeting a 16.1hh gentle giant who leaves a pretty big impression on you. 🥹🐴

Come experience the connection for yourself!

All rides are by reservation.

With this summer weather being hard to beat, we can’t wait to show you around our trails on our favourite mode of transportation — horseback! 🐴☀️

It’s calm. It’s relaxing. It’s serene. And it’s an unbeatable reset for the human mind, body and soul.

Life is busy, but it’s important to take some time for yourself, your family and your friends — doing something enjoyable, making memories and maybe even checking something off that bucket list. ❤️

Our ride schedule for these last couple of weeks of summer is filling quickly, so don’t miss your opportunity to saddle up with us before summer break comes to an end!

Thanks for your patience while we get things back up and running! ❤️

With Summer Break 2026 coming close to an end, we want to give folks a chance to ride Tex before he returns home after Labour Day weekend!

This lovely and gentle gelding has been on loan to us for some time now, and we’re so excited for him to head home to Tara’s sister and one of our excellent guides, Carly. Tex will be spending his next chapter teaching Carly’s young daughter, Sadie, how to ride. Having been one of our most trusted kids’ horses, we know he’s going to excel in his new role! ❤️

While Tex may be available by special request in the future, we encourage everyone who has ridden him and fallen in love with him to enjoy one last guaranteed ride with Tex over the next two weeks before he heads home in early September.

We also have a couple of other lease horses returning home this fall. We’re hopeful they may return next spring, but their loving owners may decide to keep these good horses home and enjoy them themselves. Those horses are Jetta & Ghost, and we’ll keep everyone updated with their departure dates.

We don’t want anyone to miss out on a ride with these great horses! 🐴

To book your ride with Tex, Jetta, Ghost or any of our other wonderful horses, call or text us at 778-710-1941.

Our good boy Kal is truly earning himself a fan club here at Glen Valley Stables! 🤎🐴

Cowboy Carson came out and rode Kal yesterday, capturing some great photos along the way and making memories he’ll hold onto forever. We just love seeing our horses create those special moments with our riders!

With school starting in less than 3 weeks, there’s still plenty of time to saddle up with us if you haven’t made it out yet! ☀️🌲 Kids 6 years and up can ride, and there’s no better time than summer to hit the trails.

Come make some memories of your own! 🤠

There are few places more spectacular to experience from horseback than Golden Ears Provincial Park. Towering old-growth forests, mountain vistas, crystal-clear lakes, and peaceful trails make this one of British Columbia’s most unforgettable riding destinations.

The response to this weekend has been incredible, and we don’t expect these remaining spots to last long. If you’ve been looking for the perfect excuse to saddle up somewhere truly memorable, this is it!

Come ride with us in one of BC’s most beautiful provincial parks!

Meet Kal! 🤠

This handsome fellow has only been with us for a short time, but it’s been a great time so far. Kal is a well-schooled, gentle gelding in his late teens who spent the last several years teaching riders at a local riding stable. Along the way, he helped students compete at dressage shows, and before his teaching days, he was a trusted trail horse, carrying his owner on adventures just about everywhere.

Previously known as Keelahan, we shortened his name to Kal to make it a little easier to say—and we think it suits him perfectly.

Kal is an absolute stunner. He’s taken everything here in stride and has quickly become a favourite among both riders and photographers. Standing approximately 15.3 hands high, this proud gelding has a truly noble presence. We’re told he’s a Quarter Horse cross, although exactly what he’s crossed with remains a bit of a mystery. Whatever the combination, it certainly produced one striking horse.

If you’d like to meet Kal in person, request him for your next trail ride, or feature him as your equine model during a photo session, we’d love to introduce you!
