Horseback riding in Sitka

Does anyone know if this is available?

I've never heard of any, and there nothing on the Sitka Convention & Visitors Bureau site ( http://www.sitka.org/ )

Thanks for looking. I couldn't find anything either, but i was hoping I was just a poor searcher...:(

The cruise lines used to offer horseback riding in Juneau and Skagway. I rode in Juneau in 2001. I noticed in 2005 when I cruised again they had discontinued that ride and now only offer one in Skagway. There is a private company in Canada that does a horseback riding tour that is not connected with the ships agendas. They are north of Skagway. If your ship is going to Sitka they are probably going to skip Skagway. I could be wrong. I found it very interesting to talk to these horse people about how they hauled their horses up there and got their feed.

There is horseback riding in Skagway, but that is the only port I have seen it advertised in.
