Campbell Hills Guest Ranch

This Place is just amazing. Bernadette and Martin who own this place make you feel home every minute. Beautiful rooms with every little detail well thought out. Amazing food which is all fresh prepaid by Martin in the kitchen and an amazing staff who makes you're stay even more perfect. Bernadette tries to fit you to the perfect horse for you and make you feel comfortable in every way. You can really tell how happy the horses are and how willing they are to give you something in return. Like me, many people come here, only ridden in an arena or with bits before. This place offers you a new experience to get to know these animals and yourself better. All horses a trained in the natural horsemanship way and without any bits. You learn how to understand every sign you're horse gives you and how you build up more trust and confidence. Berndette and Martin poured all they heart in this little magical place. Highly highly recommend it!!

At first arriving at the ranch I had not a lot of experience with Natural Horsemanship but now after been taught by Bernadette how to simply use your energy more for just the simplest of tasks creates a fantastic partnership with your horse as you can work together as one. I will defiantly take back what I have learned at Campbell Hills Guest Ranch to New Zealand to work with my horses! The food is very delicious and very well prepared by Martin. The staff are very friendly and make it feel like home, loved my time at the ranch, an amazing experience.

I came here with little knowledge about horses. I have learned some more but still very little in a natural horsemanship journey. However, it is enough to ensure that i found the right way to communicate with horses. Bernadette taught me as much as she could. I have got some basic idea and interesting fact about horses from her. She also let me did bareback riding and swimming with a horse which become the memorable memories for me. This place make my dream comes true. I had my first trail riding here. It is more special because of the breathtaking scenery and being taken care by all the wranglers. Food are very fantastic!delicious and healthy. Martin uses only good quality ingredients. This is a great place to experience new things.

I always dreamed about coming in a ranch in Canada, and I am more than happy to choose this ranch. Natural horsemanship interested me a lot, and this place is perfect to learn more about it, Bernadette, the owner is a real passionated by horses, and you can really feel than she like to share that with the guests. Its a real peaceful place for the horses as well as for the guests, you can easily feel like home. Besides all this goods aspects, the accommodations and even the food are amazing. I am a vegetarian and Martin always did something else to eat if you are vegetarian or intolerent to gluten. After all, the team of workers and volunteers was really professional and realy friendly that make your stay even more special and comfortable. Thank you again to Bernadette, Martin and all the team for this amazing place !

Before I came here I had no experience with natural horsemanship. I was looking for a way to communicate with horses where you have a strong relationship based on respect for a horse and where the horse has respect for you. Bernadette taught me the seven games wich showed me that there is a natural way to communicate with a horse. I am amazed how happy the horses are and how they respond on the smallest request!
