   We had a blast riding yesterday. We took our little ones out and the staff and hands were fantastic. I can’t put enough praise on mrs shay and mrs Sharon for all they did and do. Their love and care for the horses is matched only by their compassion and willingness to go above and beyond for their ppl.

   We were looking for something different to do and came across this petting zoo called Barnyard Friends & Stables. My Dad and I had a great time here petting the animals! We will definitely be back to ride horses. The owner and workers were extremely friendly. Fun place!

   Great place! I took my oldest son on his first ever trail ride last month and he really enjoyed all of it. Now my youngest wants to ride, too. The waiting area and its menagerie of random and adorable animals is such a bonus. Really fun and knowledgeable folks running the place!

   What a great experience! We were on a road trip from the UK and wanted to try horse riding, we were not disappointed. There was no experience needed and you paid on the day (you just need to book over the phone beforehand).

   I had a 13 yr that was scared of horses. Last year we tried an arena ride with her. She stayed on the horse maybe a minute. The staff at Mountain Harbor assured me that they were great with reluctant riders. They did not disappoint! She was very reluctant to get on. The staff was very good with her.

   Had a great time riding with Susan, was my husband's first time riding a horse and it was the perfect introduction. Horse was well behaved but still needed direction, not your typical nose to tail horse ride. Groups are small so you don't feel like you're just a number, would definitely go back again.

   Great horse camping experience, drove all the way from Texas and so worth it. Best marked trails I've ever been on, and the trail app makes it even easier. The views are incredible, so glad we went here. The horse stalls have all the amenities, spigot, hose, pitchforks, wheelbarrow.

    My happy place! I found a local ranch that allowed me to ride as independently as possible for a trail ride. I absolutely recommend Steve and his son at Rockin Z Ranch in Alpena for an amazing, personal riding experience.

Tags appear only when a stable's Google reviews or its own website mention the service: green for rides, brown for lessons and programs, blue for boarding. The proof is on each stable's page. "On Google" shows the stable's first Google categories: a park or resort that offers riding among other things ranks on all of its Google reviews, not only riders' reviews. Quotes are excerpts from public Google reviews. Ratings and review counts come from Google and change over time.
