Horseback Riding in Michigan

although I consider myself to be a laid back person, I have very high standards when it comes to the handling of the horse. Lessons are tailored to the individual's goals, be it competitive riding, or just being able to relax around a 1200 lb animal. I generally start between 10, and 15 horses per year, and while i love getting youngsters going, it is far more rewarding to be able to work continually with a horse and rider team over a longer period of time, and enjoy their progress with them. I have a 4 year old homebred Hanoverian gelding, Nicky out of my elite mare,Seesturm,by Regazzoni, who will be starting his dressage career this spring in Glass-Ed's schooling series. Willow Tree also caters to the vacation crowd, and if you and the fam want to go on a trail ride, I'm the gal. We take the safety of our guests seriously, and no one is ever sent out on the trail with a 12 year old kid as guide. I offer easy to understand instructions for every rider, and suit riders to horses based on information given, and some intuition!
i am happy to answer all questions regarding our farm, availability, rates, or short answer horsey stuff! email me directly i am looking forward to our future lessons! also, some of the horses pictured are available for purchase.... See More

Starting at an early age, Kellyn has pursued a single-minded goal of excellence in all things equestrian, and has competed in the Michigan Hunter Jumper Association circuit events, as well as showing in numerous divisions including Hunt Seat, Western Pleasure, and gymkhana at various breed-association and open shows across the state.

Not satisfied with being on a horse, Kellyn also founded the MSU Driving Club in 2005, and competed at the Great Lakes International Draft Horse Show & Pull.
