2014 is the Year of the Horse, and it’s time to saddle up
Story by Katharine Fletcher; photos by Eric Fletcher
“Are you afraid of heights?”
Guide Josh Walton of Alpine Stables in Waterton Lakes National Park had good reason to ask. Our four-day horseback ride of this popular park south of Calgary would see us riding soaring ridges, where wind whipped our mounts’ manes and tails every which-way.
Watson’s quarter-horses were sure-footed athletes, and each had their traits: my horse Major scrupulously picked his way along precipitous scree trails while husband Eric’s mount, Jackie, powered her way through thick and thin, up and down. Both inspired confidence.
That was a good thing...
