The way your guides found the right activities to suit all abilities and ages of riders. Thee magnificent scenery... awesome. And finally the horses, quite the most surefooted, willing, yet fun, animals I've met. We are coming to think that this was the best holiday we've ever had." Barry Dobson, Sheffield England (Chilcotin Holidays) "For me this was everything I think of when someone says 'Canada'; the big mountains, clear lakes, clean air, and friendly people. I enjoyed my stay at the ranch much more than I had anticipated, and I will never forget just how little time it took to unwind." Evangeline, Australia (Elkin Creek Guest Ranch) "We had a great time! Appreciated the skills and expertise of the wranglers. Our horses were well matched and the rides fantastic! Thanks so much, we'll come again!" Coquitlam, BC (Sundance Guest Ranch) "Spending time with you all and in the saddle has without doubt been the highlight of our Honeymoon and we feel incredibly lucky to have picked "Moondance" to experience life on a Guest Ranch. Your generous and warm reception is something that we will never forget (along with the wonderful cuisine and company!). Thank you all again for sharing you slice of heaven with us. God be with you and take care." Jonathan & Lorraine, USA (Moondance Guest Ranch) Fall 2000 Beautiful British Columbia Traveller"Little Beaver Creek Ranch is the Wild West seen through a romantic golden filter, with every cowboy cliché intact and not a cow pie in sight." (Little Beaver Creek Ranch) 'Thank you for turning this stressed out “city slicker” into a relaxed and ‘easy going’ country bumpkin. Your amazing staff have helped me fulfill a dream of riding western with at least some class! Echo Valley is a little bit of “Heaven on Earth” and I want to thank everyone I met, guests and staff, for making this the most enjoyable holiday ever. Thank you.' Richard Chalk. London. UK. (Echo Valley Ranch) "It really doesn't get anybetter than this! I want to move in and never go home. What a little piece of heaven your ranch is. Thank you, Allyson, Roy, and staff, for your suberb hospitality, warmth, graciousness, and attention to our needs. Your spirit, kindness, and passion for your surroundings shows everywhere here. Siwash Lake Ranch provides what its brochure and web site promise: spectacular scenery, a high level of service, excellent international cuisine, and the freedom to explore this exquisite backcountry by horse on your own. Thank you for 3 days that felt like 3 weeks - total bliss." Faye, BC, Canada (Siwash* Lake Ranch)* "We are left with glowing memories of fields of wildflowers, burbling mountain streams, indescribable views, sanctity, riding bareback, pigging potatoes, speedy baths in glacial streams and hearty food. The trip provided wonderful challenges for us all individually as well as a family. We cam away from the week feeling that (with good organization) Pandora's box of outdoor experiences are opening up to us. It is a great feeling to set a challenge to ourselves and, thanks to your help, meet it with flying colors." Lisa and Stefan Schlaginweit, Mount Lehman British Columbia (Chilcotin Holidays) "We have had a wonderful time in a beautiful remote area of BC. We will remember it forever" Andrew, Vicky, James, Fiona & Allistair-Yorkshire, England (Elkin Creek Guest Ranch) "I'm speechless and sad to leave. Thanks for making my holiday with my nephews and nieces so memorable. We'll all be back!" Kitchener, ON (Sundance Guest Ranch) " Thank you so much for making me feel so welcome here & for making my first ever horse experience so positive. It is rare that one finds hosts who truly care about their guests and to whom a job worth doing is worth doing well. Your hearts shine trough your lives and your work and I wish you well, hoping to return. I will be spreading the "Moondance Message"! Love & thanks" Jayne, UK (Moondance Guest Ranch) July 2006 Janice & Micheal Skredsvig: "You’ve made our holiday weekend a truly memorable one. Such wonderful service and excellent cuisine in a pristine wilderness area is a rare treat indeed. Thanks for everything.” (Little Beaver Creek Ranch) “Our Honeymoon! Really a perfect spot for it-the place, the people, the massages, the hike, the naps all made it an incredibly unique experience for both of us, Thank you so very much. Yee-ha!! What a fun week!! The horses, some ropin’, the hike up Mt Bowman was awesome, a truly memorable experience! The people are fantastic and I’ve never enjoyed myself more! We’ll see you again soon!!” Anja Wrum & Joris deBoer. Vergenner, VT, USA. (Echo Valley Ranch) "Sunny days and starry nights. With bears, coyotes and moose on the payroll, what could go wrong? We'll always carry the memory of your deep woods, gentle horses and kind people. Waking up to Bach and Vivaldi and the songs of birds outside the window and drinking coffee in bed... all these were the highlights of my days here. But most of all, riding those beautiful, willing horses who made me feel like I've been riding all my life although I've never ridden before. We could not have asked for a more perfect ranching and riding experience in this wild and unspoilt place...." John, London, UK (Siwash Lake Ranch)
