Blue Creek Outfitting

SOME COMMENTS RECIEVED "I must thank-you and commend you and your outfitting operation.
It was your expert knowledge and teaching skills in the fine art of packing
a horse that made our first day go off without a hitch. I must also commend
you on he way you treat and keep your fine animals. Before I used your
horses, I had been around horses enough to see some pretty common problems
arise when trying to pack and trail horses in the mountains. The first
night after we had our tent set up, horses tended to, we reflected on
the 22 miles we had come that day, and we couldn't think of one problem
or even an uncomfortable moment. Having top quality horses and tack, sure
made our trip a very memorable event." "Stan, I wanted to say thank-you on behalf of my brother and I for
what I'm sure will be the most memorable hunt of my life. The country
that we were in was rich with game but also a bit rugged. The horses that
you provided were top notch for this type of adventure, well trained and
calm in all situations. We were on a trip in the Yukon a few years back
and the horses they bad were nowhere near the quality that you provide. "It's been a year since I took your outfitting course. I have found
it to be a brilliant foundation to my learning curve of back country horsemanship.
Back in 2003 I told myself! was getting a job working in this field. This
year I managed to get a job as a wrangler at the Top of the World Guest
Ranch. It, by far has been my best job ever.” " Just a note to say we had an excellent time! Troy and I learned
a ton of useful stuff.” "Just a short note to let you know how much I enjoyed your course
on wilderness travel. My increased understanding of horses and packing
is a testament to your ability to transfer knowledge. The horses were
well behaved and the equipment and tack in excellent condition. The friendly
atmosphere and camaraderie of new friends was icing on the cake." "I would like to express my appreciation for the extraordinary experiences
and training I received when I attended your packing and outfitting in
July, 2002. The course was very well organized. I learned many new principles
that I would not have otherwise learned anywhere else. These new training
methods have assisted me in training the two foals I presently own." "I took the Horse Training, Packing, and Wilderness Travel Program,
with Blue Creek Outfitting so that I would have some experience with horses
before leaving for the summer to work in a guiding territory. It was a
major help and a great learning experience. The horses that we worked
with at the camp were quiet and friendly and easy to learn on. The camp
was comfortable." "My Blue Creek Outfitter trip was one of the most memorable times
of my life. Using good horses allowed us to get into an area where I walked
on top of the world. Every day from my desk I reminisce about the inspiring
look down from a mountain top onto the beauty of the valley floors and
pristine rivers. " "Mary and I wanted to thank you for the wonderful time we had when
we went on the pack trip last summer. You and your family were wonderful
hosts and really went out of your way to make sure we had a good time.
We were especially impressed with how well trained and calm the horses
were that we had for a week. The horses were always very co-operative
and willing. That pack trip was the best experience we ever had on a vacation.
Mary and I also want to let you know that we want to come back in August
of 2002 and go on another trip." "I came to your Horse Packing course a total novice. A week at "horse
camp" not only provided an excellent foundation for working with
horses but, most importantly, gave me confidence. Classroom theory was
well balanced with lots of opportunities to practice, good equipment and
gentle horses made it easy. It was a great adventure!" "We have nothing but deep admiration and praise for the high standard
of horse and equipment provided. We were amazed at what the horses were
capable of climbing steep alpine, wallowing through muskeg, wading up
rapids, and crossing tangled avalanche chutes. We were sure glad we weren't
the ones walking. Also amazing us was the fact that we didn't have a single
misfortune with horses or equipment even though it was our first packing
trip ever." |
