Horseback Riding & Rides

Horseback Riding & Rides

Nova Scotia offers a variety of horseback riding adventures and horse-drawn wagon and sleigh rides for travellers and locals alike. Discover scenic trails that wind through forests, along beaches next to coastal cliffs, and across the rolling countryside on a guided horseback riding tour suitable for both beginners and experienced riders.

Explore the bustling port of Lunenburg on a horse drawn carriage tour during the summer and fall, hop on a wagon to ride into an apple orchard to pick apples in the autumn months, or bundle up to experience a sleigh ride pulled by horses during the snowy winter season.
