Ranch and Facility

Where are you located?

We are located at 2855 36th St. Allegan, MI. Our private family ranch is nestled on 40 acres of wooded land 30 minutes from West Michigan's lakeshore. We're surrounded by 800+ acres of state game land away from the hustle and bustle.

Can I visit the ranch without booking a ride?

Our rides are by appointment only! We cannot accommodate "drop-ins". We keep all our experiences private and planned to keep things personal and to give our horses a fair routine that works for them!

Do you offer birthday parties or group events?

We no longer offer on site events or parties or have the space to accommodate!

What can we do while at your ranch?

We're a family run ranch and our focus is on small, private horseback rides that help pay for our horse's care! We are a completely outdoor facility that does horseback rides only. We do not have places to stay or things to explore on site!
