Welcome to Rise
and Ride Ranch!
Welcome to our cozy, family-run horseback riding ranch near Allegan, Michigan, just a short drive from the lakeshore. ☺︎ Our gentle herd is made up of mostly rescues and we take great pride in providing them with a safe forever home where they can be loved on by people like you! ︎♥︎
Reconnect with nature on horseback through our woodland trails all year round! We provide small, private horse experiences for families, friends, couples, and even single riders. Meaning it's just you, the people you bring, and the guide on your ride. Be yourselves and bring your sense of wonder! ︎Come experience the joy and love of our horse family with us!
🌼 Spring Riding in Michigan: Mud Season is Almost Here! 🌼
Spring will be arriving in Michigan in less than a month, bringing the joys of what we equestrians refer to as mud season! 💦
As we ride in spring, be prepared for muddy paths and puddles—your horse may want to avoid them, which means you’ll need to guide them carefully through the winding forest paths. Don’t forget your rain jacket for those occasional spring showers!
🌧️ Let’s embrace this beautiful season on horseback together! 🌧️

Please Be Kind
Our horses are rescues! Please be gentle and kind as they have graciously allowed us to ride them.
Tip Your Guide
Enjoy your ride? Kiss your horse and tip the guide! ..but don't mix up the two 😉
Our guides work hard to make your ride safe and enjoyable. Let them know you appreciate it!
Safety
We strongly recommend all riders wear ASTM/SEI-certified helmets for their safety. We advise you bring your own fitted helmet. If needed, we have certified helmets available in various sizes.
Beginners Welcomed
Our horses are very gentle and our guides are focused on the safety of your group. We match you with the right horse based on your riding experience.
Appointment Only
All of our experiences must be booked in advanced. Our calendar fills quickly, so be sure to plan ahead!
