Outrider Horseback Riding

We offer Western Style Horse trail rides through the fields and forests of North West Michigan near Traverse City and Sleeping Bear Dunes. All our rides are private, and you’ll never see the same trail twice. We welcome all ages and abilities, including those with special needs. Looking for more than a day trip? We also offer over-night horseback camping adventures.

Outrider is for the folks looking for a real Western Riding experience.... (read more) With over 20 horses, we can do a darn good job matching riders to a horse they’re going to enjoy. All our rides include walk, trot, and canter as long as everyone is feeling froggy! For the miniature cowboys, we offer hand-led pony rides. If you’ve got a group, we’ve got a wagon.

We’d being willing to bet our horses are some of the healthiest, happiest, and free spirited animals you’ll find anywhere in the state of Michigan, heck, the whole United States. Many of our horses have a family tree that goes back three or four generations right here on the farm. You could say they’ve got a special place in our hearts. We have a passion about horses and we pride ourselves in how we care for them. We’ve been working horses for 55 years and offering trail rides for the past 13. Ride with us and you’re in good hands.
