9 Equestrian Trails in Michigan That You Shouldn't Miss
Think you need an ocean for a beach? Think again. There are miles and miles of sandy lakefront beaches in Michigan (thanks to the four Great Lakes that border it). The west coast of Michigan has especially nice beaches—try a rental in Muskegon, Grand Haven or Saugatuck. You won’t need a car when visiting Mackinac Island. In fact, they’re not allowed—this lovely Victorian resort town is pedestrian-only.

Family-friendly horseback riding, riding lessons and therapeutic riding. Bringing a bit of the old west right here to West Michigan, since 1949.

We have been doing an annual ride for four years now and it is a great experience that my kids (two 9 year old girls) always look forward too. It is the highlight of our vacation. The staff is always friendly and helpful. Nancy let my girls come back another day to help groom a horse and just hang out with the horses- this was wonderful! Thank you Rainbow Ranch!!

We scheduled a sleigh ride for 2 on the Friday before Valentines Day. The weather was chilly but the ranch provided a nice, thick, handmade blanket for our ride. It was lovely going through the snowy, treelined trails with the jungle of the bells on our beautiful clydesdale mix horse. Our sleigh was pulled by Fudge, a large horse with a rich red-brown coloring and black hair. The sleigh driver was very knowledgeable about the horses at the ranch and showed a deep care for the animals. I would highly recommend this place for sleigh rides and would love to come back in the summer for horseback riding.
