No previous riding experience is needed for Shelby Ranch’s 1.5-hour trail rides through the tranquil Pictou County countryside. Enjoy a riding adventure with family or friends, whether you’re looking for summer sun, fall colours, or snow-covered beauty. We love welcoming beginner and intermediate riders from local rural communities and farther afield. Visitors to the area can also explore the colourful heritage buildings and museums of nearby Pictou. This charming town, located on the Northumberland Strait, was the landing site for many Scottish immigrants to Nova Scotia.
