Horses are a pretty special animal to share this earth with. No matter where you come from, horses have played an incredible role in shaping mankind across nearly every continent. Here at Glen Valley Stables, we welcome all kinds of riders, and over the years we’ve been honoured to be part of some pretty incredible moments out on the trail.
Recently, we received a request to take a very special guest for one last ride. A customer contacted us with a heartfelt request to bring his late mother back to her old stomping grounds in Campbell Valley Park, where she had spent many years riding her own horses. Of course, our answer was yes.
Our good gelding Boone traded his riding saddle for a pack saddle that afternoon, and we carefully secured her urn aboard our trusty horse. Snugged up with a little binder twine (because every cowgirl knows just how handy binder twine can be!), Boone stepped out along the trail carrying his special guest with pride.
Dunkin brought up the rear with our late cowgirl’s son, giving him a chance to revisit some childhood memories spent horseback riding in this very park.
We feel pretty lucky to meet the people we do and to share in the memories made along these trails. Some rides are about adventure, some are about fun, and some are about something much bigger.
We’re honoured to have been part of this one. ❤️
