Mother and Daughter from Ontario Enjoy Lake Louise Ride...

Hi Brewster Adventures,
My daughter Kathy and I wanted to tell you how much we enjoyed our 4 hour ride up and down the mountain at Lake Louise last Friday 23rd. The weather was perfect and how could the scenery be any more lovely. By the time we reached the tea house we were "exercized" to say the least--even though we are seasoned riders.There were three other experienced riders also and it made for fun-company.

Coming down the mountain was quite challenging,But,we felt safe and well taken care of by our guide "Matt" and your wonderful sure-footed horses. What made the trip even more enjoyable was how  communicative and informative the guide Matt was and how well he cared for the horses.

Congrats on well trained horses and great guides.
