Stanley Park Horse-Drawn Tours – Horses have done many different jobs for humans right here in Vancouver’s Stanley Park! Horses were already a part of this area’s history some time before the park’s official opening in 1889. It may well be that the first horses in Stanley Park accompanied miners seeking gold in the late 1850s. Horse-drawn tours have been part of the Stanley Park visitor experience for more than 100 years. The Stanley Park barn is home to multiple movie and TV stars. The horses have been in movies such as Bird on a Wire with Goldie Hawn and Mel Gibson and This Can’t Be Love with Katharine Hepburn and Anthony Quinn as well as TV shows such as Highlander and Men in Trees.
