Trail Riding
Horseback Riding at Sundance Riding Stables
Guided rides are available on our 200 beautiful acres of meadows and woods. Our approach to Western riding begins with a personalized interview regarding any past riding experience. This helps us assign a horse specific to individual riding ability, beginner to expert, from our herd of well-trained horses. Our trails are walk-trot only. Children must be at least 8 years old and 50″ tall with accompanying adults to ride on the guided trail ride. Please call the stables office for more info at 517-627-5500 or contact us here. Note: The Stables will close in the event of thunderstorms or a heat index over 100. Please call ahead or check the weather.

Trail Riding Hours
Be sure and call us at 517-627-5500 to verify hours of operation before you come.
Weekday trail rides leave on the hour. Weekend trail rides leave every half hour. The last trail ride leaves the corral at 6:00 PM. Please arrive 30 minutes prior to the ride you plan to ride on.
Any reservation needs to be booked a minimum of 24 hours before arrival as well as a deposit placed to hold the reservation.
Reservations accepted during weekdays only. No weekend reservations available.
Reservations are not required for small groups.
Since we are a walk in facility, we operate on a first come first serve basis. Unless you have a group reservation, there is no guarantee that you will go the next scheduled ride if there are several people ahead of you. Please consider this similar to waiting in line for a ride at an amusement park.
o Reservations are required for groups of 8 or more on weekdays only.
Closings will be posted on our Facebook page as well as on our answering machine for the day.
We are currently closed for the winter season.
