Our 4th Pioneer Trip, a little over a week ago, was a very special one. It was held by his family in memory of our dear friend Chuck. He loved exploring the mountains on horseback, laughing around the campfire, and looking between Bravo’s ears in Summer 2024.

We were honoured to have his wonderful family join us and see the places that meant so much to him. To witness them ride the same trails their father and grandfather enjoyed was incredibly special and something he really wanted them to experience.

A beautiful few days filled with stories, laughter, and lifelong memories — you will be dearly missed, Chuck. This ride was for you. 🤎

Our 3rd Pioneer Trip of the season was an absolute hit!

Nothing means more to us than seeing familiar faces come back — this time we had friends from last year’s Explorer trip rejoin, and honestly there’s no better feedback than that. It was just as special watching the new folks fit right in. 🤎

After the day rides, we spent our evenings, swimming and chilling at Echo Beach. After supper, we’d all gather round the campfire for stories. Connie Harris Bracewell was on storytelling duty this week, and everyone was hooked, loving every second of it.

This is what these trips are all about. Already looking forward to the next one.

Our 2nd Pioneer Trip of 2026 has come to an end, and we’re so grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make it a wonderful few days.

Thanks to our incredible horses for once again taking such great care of their riders, also to the mountains and the views for making this trip unforgettable. ❤️

1st Pioneer Trip of 2026 is officially in the books and it was an absolute pleasure to ride with incredible people into the wilderness !

The horses did an amazing job again and we are very proud of them 🤎

We enjoyed being surrounded by the most vibrant wildflowers and we did see some very cool birds like a pair of sandhill cranes, a couple bald eagles and a hawk ✨

Onto the next adventure we go 🐴

We’re looking for historical photos and stories from your hunting and trail riding adventures with my grandmother Gerry Bracewell, my father Alex Bracewell and my mother Connie Harris Bracewell to feature on our website.

If you’ve shared a hunt, a horseback adventure or a memory with them and you’d like to contribute, please email me at [email protected] or send me a private message.

As these adventures are part of our family history, we would be honored to preserve and share them.
