Tucked away in the pristine expanse of British Columbia’s Nemaiah Valley, the tale of Flying “L” Ranch comes alive. It isn’t merely a location on a map but a tapestry of dreams, perseverance, and an unbreakable bond with the land and its inhabitants.

The Lares family’s unwavering spirit gave birth to the Flying “L” Ranch, a beacon of hope and transformation. The story finds its roots in 2005 when Nicole Lares confronted a life-altering accident during the birth of Dylan. This pivotal moment, accompanied by years of medical challenges and a relentless quest for solace, led the family to the serene embrace of the Nemaiah Valley. Here, in the valley’s gentle climes, Nicole found her respite and a renewed zest for life.

However, the essence of the ranch transcends individual healing. It was in these lush meadows that the Lares family found their calling with the valley’s grand equines. Seeing the pressing need to shield, nurture, and champion the rights of these noble creatures, Flying “L” Ranch emerged as a haven for horses, embodying the values of care, compassion, and conservation. Each gallop, each whinny echoing through the ranch, stands as a commitment — a vow to rescue, rehabilitate, and revere.

This dedication did not go unnoticed. The canvas of Flying “L” Ranch caught the global gaze as it was spotlighted in the renowned Canadian docu-series “The Wild Ones,” capturing a glimpse into our world. A world marked by our allegiance to the horses, our profound respect for the local Xeni Gwet’in First Nation, and an undying promise to protect the untouched charm of the Nemaiah Valley.
