These easy-going, guided rides are the perfect experience for first timers and horse hobbyists that want to connect with our horses in a private setting. Explore our family's woodland ranch throughout Michigan's four seasons. Your guide will lead you through winding forest pathways, open grassy areas, and around our peaceful pond. You could spot a deer or two, as well as birds, ducks, and turkeys if you're lucky! 🦉🦌🦃

Nervous? No sweat! We also have walkers available upon request to walk with you and your group on the trails to help as needed. 🤗
