Chris and Pam
in Alaska 2000 Chris goes horseback riding in the Yukon Territory, Canada.
We took van ride into Canada, where we met up with Joni MacKinnon and her horses.
A letter from a guest ...
My wife and I do a lot of cruising . We also own and ride horses . (and I spent
several years at sea in the Caribbean and Pacific) . in almost every port of
call, we try to find horses to ride . mostly, we end up on half-dead nags, trudging
along the beach . a very poor commentary on the quality of service and a poor
reflection on the recommendations of the cruise line. Subsequently, my wife
searches the cruise boards for "a better experience."

This past year, we certainly found one at Yukon Horse Adventure with Joni
MacKinnon . The horses were healthy, well trained, and well outfitted.
Joni matched the riders with horses to provide the best experience. As experienced
riders, we were given horses that we could ride (and not just hang on for the
ride) . those riders with little or no experience were given horses more suited
to a beginner . and so EVERYONE had a good experience . saw great vistas, got
to see and hear about a significant piece of history (I did not know that 'staking
a claim' actually meant driving a wooden stake into the ground and I did not
know what a 'claim jumper' really was!)
We had such a good time that my wife and I plan to return to the Yukon just
to ride with Joni! Considering we live in Southern California and ride daily
in some of the most gorgeous terrain around it is a testament to Joni and her
operation that we would travel so far north just to ride with her!

A sunny, beautiful scenery, gorgeous lake, riding in the woods with the dogs
running by, it was like the scenery I saw in the movie when I was a little girl.
It was awesome. Thank you!
