Discover a transformative horseback experience at Wild Mountain Adventures along California's coast. Connect with horses through guided sessions designed for emotional growth and mindfulness.
Wild Mountain Adventures is a small outdoor experience provider based in Canning, Nova Scotia, offering guided equine and archery programs along the Bay of Fundy coast. The company hosts the In the Presence of Horses experience at an ocean-side farm where participants connect with horses through guided breathwork, one-on-one interactions, and reflective time beside a driftwood fire. That program emphasizes emotional balance, self-discovery, and a slow, nature-centered approach to learning.
Traditional Archery by the Sea! is a 2-to-3-hour guided session along the Bay of Fundy coastline led by an experienced instructor named Lance. Participants learn traditional archery techniques, practice a mock hunt, and receive context about historical archery practices and mindfulness in nature. The archery offering supports local forest conservation efforts and encourages community connection.
Wild Mountain Adventures is featured on The Adventure Collective and makes safety and attentive guidance a priority. Guides present clear instruction, maintain small group sizes, and use established safety protocols for both equine interactions and archery. The business operates from a distinct rural setting near Canning, Nova Scotia, and emphasizes low-impact activities that respect local ecosystems.
