Spirit's Respite Ranch

Looking for a summer activity for your child or for yourself this summer? Come join us at the Ranch!

Our 7 week-long Summer Riding Session is open to all abilities and riding levels. We can accommodate daytime or evening lesson times, and we have fantastic coaches for everyone from beginners to barel racers wanting a couple pointers before their next jackpot.

As always, the proceeds from our lesson program stay with Spirit's to help us keep doing what we are proud to do - ensuring our Senior's visits are always free, affordable therapeutic riding for all of those with disabilities, sponsored school visits, and much more.

Message or email us at [email protected] before Friday, July 3 to register.

Our other Grad of ‘26 is Coach Kally!

Kally started volunteering with us at the Ranch 5 years ago, and eventually stepped into the role of Coach. For the last year, we were so proud to watch her in her role as Miss Alberta High School Rodeo and all the opportunities that opened up for her.
You’ve had such an adventure-filled Grade 12 year Kally, and we are all incredibly proud of you!

Join us in congratulating Coach Kally on her graduation and upcoming transition for the start of college life!!

☀️ Spirit’s 2026 Summer Camp Schedule is here! ☀️

These are very special to our hearts - our Summer Camps have always been a meaningful way for us to model inclusion to camp kids. While we have most activities planned for “typical” children, we have many camp attendees who have different abilities and needs. This allows us to show all our friends the importance of teamwork, inclusion and cheering on our friends who may do things differently than us! This is a one-of-a-kind program in Alberta, and we are proud to welcome kids from all over the province.

If you would like to register for a camp, please message us here or email [email protected]
