Explore Alberta's Backcountry the Right Way

Experience the backcountry along the Red Deer and Panther rivers the way they are meant to be explored — on horseback. This is how the early settlers, guides, and ranchers of the Alberta foothills traveled these lands for over a century, and it remains the most authentic way to connect with this remarkable wilderness.

Our seasoned horses and expert guides lead you through terrain that defines western Canada. Whether you're a first-time rider or an experienced equestrian, our guides tailor each excursion to your comfort and skill level, ensuring a safe and unforgettable journey through the Panther River corridor.

Ride through open meadows, cross clear mountain streams, and take in panoramic views of the Alberta Rockies that simply cannot be reached by any other means. This is the Barrier Mountain Outfitters experience — rooted in tradition, delivered with expertise.
