Branimir Gjetvaj Photo Essay

"This was no ordinary riding ranch with beaten down trails, overworked horses and inexperienced college cowboys on a summer hiatus. This was the real deal! The land is rugged and beautiful, the horses healthy and eager and the owners extremely welcoming of a city visitor interested in exploring the cowboy way of life."
Chris Ellison , Travel Journalist, Canadian Destinations, London, ON

"I find myself at an impasse. I'm riding Dane, a lovely Arabian Quarter Horse cross, and we've come upon fallen trees blocking our trail in Prince Albert National Park. Good thing I'm with Gord Vaadeland...'Ready to bushwack?' he asks with a smile..."
Colleen Seto , Journalist, Calgary, AB, from her article "On The Trail" in the Summer, 2010 issue of Prairie's North Magazine. www.prairiesnorth.com

"A thousand times better than Vegas! "
Else Karin Jensen, Klepp, Norway

"Gold mine!! No stress!!"
Edgar Villemaire, Valleyview, PQ

"Loved the weekend - WOW, what a treat! The wagon ride was kind of inspirational (I have dreamed about running a wagon team for ever) and to chat with Ruben about it was super. Then to ride Applejack - in the rain.... great!!"
Peta White, Regina, SK

"Thank you for the extraordinarily warm hospitality and friendship you extended to us during our two day stay at your ranch. It was for us an unbelievable experience; we urban types aren't used to such wide open spaces and the giddy sense of freedom that comes with it."
Hubert Gendron, Montreal, PQ

"55 Billion times better than any other trail ride I've been on!"
Brittney, age 13, Saskatoon, SK

"Horseback riding heaven!"
Wanda Hayduk, Prince Albert, SK

"I'm still finding it hard to concentrate on my work as my mind keeps drifting back to Saskatchewan. If only I had my camera with me on the horseback ride."
Ken Erickson, Director, Leisure Sales Development
Canadian Tourism Commission, Seattle, WA

"Thank you so much for being part of our FAM for the CTC (Canadian Tourism Commission) reps last week. And for being so accommodating in regards to transporting your horses to the east side and working within our time constraints. Each of the CTC reps on the ride spoke so highly of the (dude ranch) experience not just to the other FAM participants but to the larger CTC group back in Regina . We are all feeling very energized from the CTC visit."
Joy Turner, Marketing Consultant
Tourism Saskatchewan, Regina, SK

"Hey John... I gotta say that my visit with you, Errol, Sheila, Gord and Jake was the BEST time I had in SASK. You all made me feel so relaxed and comfortable. Wished I could have spend more time with you all."
