Southern Quebec (#306) Duration: 26:46 CC Stereo TVG

Who knew you could horseback ride through the winter snow in Quebec? We explore snowy trails by horses, skis and dogsleds in the Eastern Townships, St. Alphonse-Rodriguez and Mont Tremblant. We learn about the French, British and American influences in the Eastern Townships by riding with Jacques Robidas. Jacques leads us through snow-covered trails on horseback, before teaching Darley how to drive a horse-drawn sleigh. As snow cascades down, we experience the picture perfect horse-drawn sleigh ride. Next, we explore the city of Montreal, sampling some French pastries in Old Montreal and getting an insiders look at the Canadian horses in Mont Royal Park, akin to New York's Central Park. We're introduced to Diablo, a stunning, black Canadian horse who patrols the park and the city. In Mont Tremblant we take a ski lesson, which ends in the picturesque village. We taste poutine, a Quebec comfort food, before experiencing an exciting dogsled adventure. At Ranch Mont Tremblant, we ride in the backcountry, experiencing the thrill of sinking into powdery snow off the trails. Finally, we visit the family owned Ranch 4 Saisons, where we horseback ride and slide in this hilly area.
