Horseback Riding in Sherwood, Michigan (Branch County)

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!
