Sterling

September 22, 2019

Meet Sterling, one of the horses in our herd of 300 horses. Ride Sterling on our horseback riding trail rides and vacations in Banff National Park.

Sterling September 22, 2019 January 28, 2025 Banff Trail Riders Uncategorized Meet Sterling! The flood of 2013 completely engulfed the barns with water and brought with it aquatic life that typically doesn’t live alongside our horses. Shortly after this time, Sterling caught potomic horse fever, a bacterial infection caused by eating the residue left by certain snails carried into the pens by the high water. While the illness brought him close to death, Sterling survived and made a full recovery. He is now happily back at work pulling wagons to our cookouts or showing guests around in our carriages downtown. Position: Carriage, Wagon and Sleigh Horse Colour:  Grey Previous post Sulphur Next post Spud
