Want to give your riding a huge boost? For 6 years now, women have been coming from across North America and the world to attend our award-winning 7-day skills camp in Fernie, British Columbia. They come for the expert instruction (and they get plenty of that), but they leave with a lot more: friends for life from around the world and loads of confidence in their riding abilities.

Find out why Explore magazine called this one of the "Top 40 trips in Canada!"
