Boyne Highlands

Guided Trail Rides 

Explore the vast mountainous terrain and make a new equine friend with horseback riding in northern Michigan!  Trail rides begin from the Boyne Highlands equestrian facilities and cover the resort's 4,000+ acres. The wooded trails have been gently cut through natural vegetation and are exclusive to riders on horseback.  One hour rides are available. 

Trail Rides offered Thursdays - Sundays departing at 12pm, 2pm, 4pm and 6pm.

  • One hour ride - $45 per person 
  • Two hour ride - $80 per person

All riders must be at least 9 years of age. 

Pony Rides

For children not yet old enough to guide a horse on their own, we offer pony rides for ages 8 and under.  We'll hoist your young ones into the saddle and they can experience a true ride as handlers escort the horse for a gentle walk through the pasture near the resort's equestrian facilities.

  • 15 minute ride - $25 per child

Arrival

Please arrive 10-20 minutes before your scheduled ride time for proper helmet fitting and completion of waiver and release forms.  This ensures that the ride begins on time.

Dress

Trail riders are advised to wear long pants and closed-toe shoes.  Athletic shoes are acceptable but a leather shoe with a heel is best.  Each rider is required to wear a helmet which will be provided.  Riders wearing shorts and/or sandals may be asked to reschedule.

We must enforce a 24-hour cancellation policy.  Reservations canceled within 24 hours of ride will be charged 50% of the price of their scheduled ride. No shows will be charged the full price of their scheduled ride.
