SADDLING UP ON WN. SHORE

Ride into the wilderness

THE UNTOUCHED beauty of the
North Shore’s backwoods
wilderness is now within reach of
horse-riding enthusiasts.

Mark Durante began saddling
up his 2%-acre Tall Mountain
Riding Stables site May 7 in North
Vancouver at 1301 Lillooet Road.

The stable is the second for
Durante’s company, which opened
its first stable in June 1985 in Ab-
botsford.

Durante, who has five years of
experience as a guide in B.C., said

ae

THIS SUMMER

he decided to expand to the North
Shore, ‘‘because people (in the
Vancouver and North Shore areas)
don’t always want to drive all the
way to Abbotsford for a one-hour
horse ride.’”’

He added that the North Shore
offers a vast area of virtually un-
touched wilderness that is only 15
minutes away for most area resi-
dents.

“In what other big city in the
world do you have wilderness that
no one has touched so close? It's
beautiful... an ideal situation,”
