ABOUT
Come Join us on a scenic Trail ride through the wilderness of Northern Michigan! Our trails cross over 90 acres of private property with lots of wild life to be seen.
Our Trail rides are enjoyed by all levels of riders and are at a walking pace only.
Our 10-15 Minute Pony/Horse Rides: Perfect for little ones who are not quite old enough to enjoy a 30 minute or 1 hour trail ride. They can be enjoyed in the round pen or on the trails. These short Rides can also be offered for Group Birthday Parties! Each horse will be led (hand-walked) by a guide.
30 Minute Trail Ride: A great option for someone just starting out or a group that has younger children who wont make an hour trail ride. We do offer these at Private events for smaller groups. There is also an option to have a guide Lead (Hand-walk) hour horse. If you do need to add a Led Rider to your reservation please contact stable to add them to your reservation.
1 hour Trail Ride: The perfect length to enjoy the trails by horse back! 10yrs+ ( if you do have a child that is under 10 OR even an adult who is not comfortable and would like to join ask the stable about having a Guide Lead (Hand-walk) the horse.
Have a larger group and not everyone is physically able or wanting to ride horses? We may be able to accommodate by adding a wagon to the ride. This allows the whole group to enjoy the trails together.
If you do need to add a Led Rider to your reservation please contact stable to add them to your reservation.
