Mountain View Stables

What Mountain View Stables does

Mountain View Stables is a small, privately-held equestrian services business operating from a facility at 302 Grey Road 21 in Blue Mountains, Ontario, Canada, near the base of Blue Mountain Resort. The business provides guided horseback trail rides, horse boarding, riding lessons (currently paused), and gift certificates, with operations conducted year-round on over 180 acres of private woodland and pasture. It targets individual recreational riders (aged 12+), groups, and horse-owning customers seeking premium boarding facilities, and positions itself as "Collingwood's Premier Destination for Trail Rides."

The core product surface consists of two paid trail ride tiers (one-hour at $70 and two-hour at $120, helmets included), monthly horse boarding with access to indoor/outdoor rings, 200 acres of trails, and coordinated health care and blacksmith services, plus western riding lessons offered as an optional add-on for boarders. Reservations are taken by phone and email, with payment accepted on-site via cash, e-transfer, or credit card. The company's stated differentiators are the scale of its private trail acreage, more than 30 years of staff equine experience with a natural horsemanship focus, and year-round availability.

The business generates revenue through a mix of one-time transactional fees (trail rides, gift certificates) and recurring monthly boarding fees. Marketing is minimal, limited to an active Facebook page and word-of-mouth, and the firm has no disclosed funding, no parent company, no institutional backing, and operates with a staff of approximately 8 employees. There is no evidence of an online booking system, mobile application, or third-party distribution partnerships beyond a minor referral relationship with a local K-9 training business.
