There are five things you can do if the content of this film has convinced you that things must change:

  1. Donate to help us get this film in front of as many people as possible before the BC election. With your help, we can make the changes needed to protect the wild salmon of BC http://www.gofundme.com/FishFeedlotsOut
  2. Write to Adrian Dix, the leader of the BC NDP who is currently high in the polls, as we close in on the May 14, 2013 provincial election. Tell him you take salmon issue and the viruses seriously and his removing these salmon feedlots from the wild salmon migration routes would get your vote. His email is adrian.dix.mla@leg.bc.ca
  3. Use this link to Sign the petition and send it to Christy Clark, the Premier of British Columbia – or send her a letter directly at premier@gov.bc.ca
  4. Go to http://www.salmonfeedlotboycott.com/ and join the BOYCOTT
  5. Share this film with everyone you know so they will better understand the negative relationship between salmon feedlots and wild salmon, forests, whales, and the British Columbia economy.

Please take action.

Here 2 video clips that show our amazing team of horses we have here at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort.

The first one, “Horses Running Wild” is our 30 horses being set free into the field after being in our barn for a little while.

Their energy and love for being outdoors brings such a smile to our faces!

This one is the horses after they’ve been out for a little while. Look at them run!

These amazing creatures are here for your enjoyment while with us at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort here on Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia Canada!

Call or email us for more details!

 

A little roll in the hay?

One of the greatest things about living out at Clayoquot Wilderness Resort in the off season is being able to look after our 30+ horses. The beautiful team that we have has been with us for a while and some of you may be familiar with a few of them yourselves!

From our different activities that we offer here at the resort, you as a guest, have the ability to take these amazing creatures out for a ride or maybe even a horse 101. Yup, that’s right! We are taking you back to school, horse school that is! In a 101, you will learn basic grooming techniques and are able to get closer to our amazing team of horses!

So, whether it’s taking them for a ride or just watching them in the field doing their horse thing, there really is nothing quite like the vision of the horses letting loose!
