History
Established in 1979.
Major Fred Brewster started it all. He began outfitting pre-1908 by packing for survey and coal exploration companies. With his help, the coalmines in Nordegg and the British Colonies on Jasper's south boundary were founded. He then moved to Jasper and became the largest horse operator, providing pack trips and trail rides throughout the Park.
My father Tom Sr. came to Jasper and began employment with Brewster's Company in 1939. My mom Yvette came to work at Jasper Park Lodge where she met my dad and they were married in 1947. They purchased the business from Fred Brewster in 1955, which included pack trips into Tonquin Valley, Skyline, and trail rides at the Jasper Park Lodge pony barns.
In 1979 Horseback Adventures Ltd. was formed when I took over the backcountry pack trips and trail rides from my dad, into Jasper and Willmore Parks. West Range Cabin Vacations were added to the operation in 1996, where along with the backcountry trail rides, we enjoy providing pack trips to clients
Meet the Business Owner: Tom and Shawn V.
Tom was born & raised in the Guiding & Outfitting business. His father worked for Major Fred Brewster & eventually bought out the Brewster's business, obtaining the Jasper Park Lodge Riding Stables, Tonquin Valley Pack trips, and Skyline Trail Rides, as well as offering hunting trips. Tom bought out the Hunting Business in 1980 and started Horseback Adventures Ltd. we have been operating and offering quality Horseback Adventures in the Rocky Mountains to guests from around the world ever since. There is no better way to truly see and experience the Rocky Mountains than from the back of a horse as we travel trails that have been established by the early explorers. Tom feels completely at home in the mountains and they are home to us.
