Horseback riding has many benefits including noticeable improvements in balance, physical strength, coordination, mobility and self-confidence. Not to mention it’s just plain fun! Our CHA certified Equestrian Supervisor will teach you how to wrangle, groom and saddle your horse. We offer English and Western style lessons with the goal for our students to safely and confidently learn to do everything on their own.

We offer both private and group lessons to riders of all proficiency levels and abilities. Our Equestrian Center features a 60′ X 120′ indoor riding arena and heated observation room with bathroom which allows us to provide lessons year-round!

Lessons cost $45 per one hour session or $200 for a bundle of 5 sessions. Group discounts are available.

Experience the joy of a leisurely horseback ride through the peaceful trails that wind through our 200-acre property in the heart of the Michigan Thumb. Riders five years old and up will feel the positive impact of bonding with one of our beautiful equine friends while enjoying the fresh air and the empowering freedom of movement.

Our Trail Riding program is set to open in the Spring of 2024, so stay tuned for more information!

If you have questions or would like to schedule lessons please contact our Equestrian Supervisor, Ciara Sloan.

This 6-day session is a ground lesson program aimed at providing horsemanship skills to those not quite ready for, or are ineligible for, C.O.M.E.B.A.C.K Riding Camp. At camp, afternoons are all about the horses and animals. Each day campers will receive a half hour ground lesson with their horses. During this time campers will work on using their body and voice to communicate with the animal. All other activities are designed to help campers learn about horsemanship through activities that promote the use of all five senses to learn.

Eligibility Criteria: Individuals must be ambulatory, able to stand independently for at least 30 minutes, able to follow verbal directions of staff to maintain safety around horses, and be independent or require minimal verbal prompts for personal care.

At C.O.M.E.B.A.C.K. camp mornings are filled with fun  programs such as waterfront, sports, crafts, or nature. Afternoons are all about the horses and animals. Each day campers will receive a half hour group riding lesson during which time they will work on developing riding skills such as using their voice, weight, hands, and legs to ask their horse to stop, walk on, and turn independently. More advanced riders will continue to work towards gaining independent control over their horse at a walk, and learning control at a trot. Ground lessons (non-mounted lessons) are designed to help campers learn all about horsemanship through interactive activities that promote the use of all five senses to learn and may include games, worksheets, and crafts. Sessions are currently only offered to ambulatory campers who are independent in care (or only require minimal assistance).  Rider Weight Limit 220 lbs.
