We didnt ever improve we walked the whole time, and did nothing but go over like 2 logs ONCE!. They had trail rides and we did one of those and it was fun and we did good, but the lesson after that we asked if we could do more trails, and they said we "wernt ready yet.." Like wdym?? we literally did good. I don't think y'all should go here find somewhere better. 2/10 would not recommend

We even did the summer camps where we did trail riding and were still told that we couldn't trail ride for normal lessons. They also kept changing the parameters for getting to a higher level at the place, and when we got one or two questions wrong we couldn't advance to the next level. We were at level one for over a year. Would not recommend this place.

We had such a wonderful experience doing a trail ride on April 14th, 2023 with Calvin. We are…read moredefinitely amateurs - ride about once a year on average and have ridden with stables in several different states and countries over the years (e.g. have seen how riding is done with other companies). Today topped our list for one of the best (if not the best) trail rides we have ever done. Calvin was the guide for our group of three. The horses were very well-trained and energetic. This is definitely not your "walk in a line" type stable ride which was refreshing. We felt he tailored the ride to the experience level of our small group in terms of trails and gaits, and we always felt safe. We can't wait to come back.

This woman is a thief. She sells gift certificates around the holidays, but when you reach out to…read moreschedule with her in the summer, she will ignore you. After weeks of hearing zero responses from her, I messaged her again asking for a refund. She never responded, BUT she did block me. I spent $140 on 4 gift certificates as my kids big Christmas gift. My family and I were very much looking forward to a great experience, but she stole that from us. She also literally stole Christmas from my kids AND many other kids. I have contacted the BBB, the michigan attorney, and the news. I hope this woman is prosecuted for stealing, and I hope no other families have her do this to them. She and her family should be ashamed of themselves.

Had a great time! Highly recommended!…read moreLaurie & her crew are very professional! Horses were great & easy going!

They don't just teach you to ride they teach valuable life lessons and make YOU apart of the barn family. If you're looking for a barn home that is UNLIKE any other than HOPE Horsepark is your new barn home. Every other barn we went to my daughter went around in a circle, and then they wanted $50, this is not the case a HOPE. The lessons are intense and are great at building character for children. Your child learns to work hard which builds confidence as well! Join my family at HOPE Horsepark. You will be glad you did!

It is all still there and even better because with the hustle and bustle of life..Simple pleasures may fall to wayside. Recently, I went boating with friends. The word perfect comes to mind! So beautiful, relaxing and calming. The boat launch is very nice and there are places around the lake to stop, get a snack and use the facilities. The park is clean, super well-maintained and the staff were also nice. I will make it a point to come back a few times this summer! We are fortunate to have such a gem in our midst.

We love to visit this park in all seasons. It is especially good for observing birds.read more

I purchased 4 gift certificates as a Christmas present for my kids and family, and when I attempted to schedule with her, she refused to respond. After weeks without a response from her, I reached out for a refund for my $140.00 and she blocked me. Blocking me doesn't negate the fact that she owes me $140.00 This woman has done this to AT LEAST 20+other people who I have spoken to. I spent $140 on her gift certificates as my kids big Christmas gift, and I don't think she ever had any intention of honoring them.

The other riders are friendly and this is a NO DRAMA barn (which as a mom of a teenager...I appreciate!!) Robyn is wonderful with my daughter who also suffers from anxiety. She is patient and understanding. My daughters skills have increased 10-fold under Robyn. In addition to riding, there are fun events, shows (if you choose) and horsemanship training for those who want to take their knowledge to the next level. I highly recommend GES.
