Black River Farm And Ranch

In the tranquil serenity of Michigan, away from the din of city life, lies a haven for young horse enthusiasts - the Black River Farm and Ranch. Since 1962, it has been a sanctuary for girls who harbor a deep affection for horses and horseback riding, offering an idyllic summer respite enveloped in relaxation and rejuvenation. Think less of a camp and more of a pastoral paradise, where the clippety-clop of horse hooves becomes the soundtrack to a memorable summer. Beyond its renowned horseback riding program, the ranch dips its toes in a diverse pool of activities, catering to a broad spectrum of interests. A quintessential 160-year-old ranch house stands at the heart of this sprawling 360-acre farm, encapsulating the spirit of tradition and adventure. The ranch is nestled against the backdrop of the Black River, adding a touch of picturesque charm to an already enchanting locale. Acres of natural woodlands, a meandering stream cutting through the valley, and a five-acre lake all contribute to the perfect setting for those invigorating horseback rides. With the State of Michigan's license, the State Health Department's approval, and the American Camping Association's accreditation, parents can breathe easy knowing their daughters are in safe and capable hands. But it's not all about rules and restrictions. At Black River Farm and Ranch, girls are encouraged to embrace their freedom, to run, romp and relish their summer adventures under careful adult supervision. So saddle up for an unforgettable journey at the Black River Farm and Ranch, where summer dreams transform into cherished memories.
