If you are looking to start taking riding lessons in the hunter, jumper, or polo disciplines this is without a doubt the best barn in West Michigan. You can board your horse here or take lessons on some of the amazing Meadowview horses. No matter what your level of experience, Meadowview can help you achieve any riding, training and showing goals. From my first pony ride to becoming a national champion, Cathy, Hillary and the whole team at Meadowview have been there every step of the way. I trust them entirely to give my horses the best care possible. They exemplify professionalism and horsemanship and I am honored to be one of their most successful students. Hillary herself is an extraordinary rider whom I admire greatly. I highly recommend attending a summer polo match or Lake Effects Horse Show. It's an amazing opportunity to watch horses and riders perform! The team at Meadowview makes riding fun for any level. Thanks Meadowview, for all that you do!

My hat got knocked off at the beginning of the ride and Cheryl went back to get it when we were done. We appreciate the ride and I would recommend Simpsarosa Stables to anyone staying in the Grand Haven area!

My friends hosted a birthday party for their daughter at Legacy Stables and we had so much fun!…read moreKarin's Horse Connection is the 501 (c)3 non-profit, while Legacy Stables operates their business which includes riding lessons, horse camps, birthday parties, etc. My friend's daughter loves unicorns, so they chose the unicorn birthday package which included some games, interacting with the horses, access to a private (heated) space, and supervised "unicorn" rides! It was so cute. The staff were so great with the kids (aged 4-10ish) and safety was a priority. I didn't get a chance to ride any of the horses, but I'd honestly like to come back and do a one time ride at some point. I haven't ridden a horse since I was a teenager, and being around them made me really happy. Such a fun spot and they have a great mission of equine therapy.

As a parent watching horse vaulting, I am constantly in awe of the bravery, strength, and teamwork…read morethese athletes display. This sport clearly requires tremendous trust and goodwill between the vaulters and the horse. Watching my child participate in horse vaulting has been an incredibly rewarding experience. Not only has she developed physical strength and agility, but she has also learned important life skills such as communication, discipline, and perseverance. I am grateful for the opportunity to witness this unique and exciting sport, and I am proud to be a part of a community that values sportsmanship and teamwork. Staff--They are all wonderful. They all equally invested in helping my child grow and develop the skills that she needs to be great. I can't say enough good things about the people, horses, and the Barn. We always look forward to being there.

This is definitely a family friendly activity. They have horses of all sizes, even for younger children. You can also pay 50 cents for a cup of treats to give your horse at the end of your ride :) The scenery winds through fields and wooded trails. We saw so many deer and a very big buck! Such a great way to unplug and get out in nature. They also have restrooms to use. Highly recommend this family farm for horseback riding! The wranglers do work for tips so bring cash to tip!

The owner seems incredibly welcoming and…read moresmiley at first and the barn looks beautiful but after a few months we realized how different reality could be. The pastures were unkept, multiple horses have had injuries from loose nails, stalls contained incredibly uneven footing which is very detrimental to a horses health, even feeding was done wrong, leading to aggravated and unfed horses. Thankfully we were able to get out while we still could, but for many others it hasn't been so easy. Save yourself while you still can.

This ranch did not disappoint. Each room is decorated so cute, the beds were very comfortable and having a private bathroom for each room was a defendant plus. The breakfast was homemade and very delicious! The owner made sure each room was clean and even asked us if the breakfast time was good for us. You won't get this kind of service at a hotel. The surrounding ranch was beautiful. Sitting on the large deck overlooking the horse ranch with coffee in hand was so calming. I wanted to stay longer. I would recommend staying here for as long as your vacation allows. You may even bring your horse or book to ride their horse. They have a large property with trails, along with state land behind them which also has many trails. I would recommend staying here, you won't want to leave.
