Mustang Stables was established in 1982. Our interest in horses and nature was the basis of its beginnings. Furthermore most riding stables at the time were poorly run. Trail systems for the most part were and still are a mix of urban industrial sprawl. The rides were not private and in many cases the horses were not suited to the riders. Riders were given little or no instruction prior to the ride. Based on observations and experience over the early years, we planned to create a ranch that any rider or nature lover would want to experience. Mustang stables was the first to offer private rides. Since 1982 we were pioneers in accepting special needs rides, even before there were any therapeutic programs in existence. In fact we did many charity rides for the Langley Center in the early nineties, including The Ride for Andrea at M.R.E.C. in Maple Ridge. Our new ranch location in Mission is surrounded by mountains and streams making for an excellent nature trail system. Wildlife and waterfowl are abundant as the ranch is located along a migratory flyway and wintering area for swans, eagles and thousands of other birds. Whether you ride a horse or just want to explore the surrounding countryside or kickback under our 90 foot covered clubhouse patio, we can accommodate you. We can welcome up to 200 guests or just one at a time. Camping, picnicking, biking, hiking, conferences, weddings, birthday parties, wildlife and nature photography are just some of the many experiences we have to offer. The new ranch allows us to offer top quality service, riding, or any other event you wish to arrange. The ranch is surrounded by old growth forest and a mountain skyline which gives visitors a genuine sense of tranquility and escape. Our versatile horses are specifically trained for trail riding movie and commercial production weddings, special events and parades. We have taken our horses into the Vancouver Hotel main ballroom in front of 800 hundred guests and also the Western Bayshore Hotel ballroom with the same amount of guest. For 10 years we have taken a horse to the New Vista Society seniors facility. Seniors up to 101 years old have enjoyed a ride on the many horses we have taken there. We maintain some of the safest and most reliable pleasure horses in our industry. Thousands of people have had their first riding experiences at Mustang Stables over the last 28 years. The ranch has an impeccable safety record.

I took my two kids here as they both wanted lessons. Neither had ridden before but Janet the owner and teacher is excellent with kids. She has so much patience with them and is gentle but also gives them the direction they need. Three months later we are regulars and the girls have improved dramatically. I have also taken lessons with a couple of friends and we love it. The barn is not super glamorous but who cares - it is a friendly, family oriented riding stables where safety and friendliness comes first. Love it!Read more
