Dear Friends,
My name is Karin Offield and I own a riding farm in Harbor Springs, Michigan. We are about 30 minutes from Mackinac Island at the top of Michigan, two hours north of Traverse City. Our area is home to a small population of summer and year round residents and the location of the top skiing in the Midwest.
I am reopening BreknRidge Farm for the summer and maybe the winter season. BreknRidge Farm is a safe place for teaching riding, training your horses and learning practical horse care. We have indoor and outdoor arenas; pastures that are safe to gallop on and a small trail system I hope to expand this summer. I would like to invite trainers and horses owners to use the farm this summer for practice events for youth groups, junior and high school teams, riding clubs, pony clubs and seminars with equestrian professionals.
If you want to teach a clinic, call us up and we can host it at BreknRidge Farm. We also can offer picnic and BBQ facilities for the parents and auditors during a riding day at the farm. I am asking equestrian professionals to BreknRidge Farm this summer to hold small training seminars, teaching new and old techniques on horse management and stable safety. If you would like to teach this summer, please contact me for details.
We have plenty of trailer-in space, there are special and emergency overnight accommodations but we are not offering monthly boarding. If you do not have a safe or simple area for your vet or blacksmith to work with your horse please consider using our facility.
Health papers are required for entry onto the grounds and your liability must be covered by your proof of insurance, and that’s it. I want BreknRidge Farm to become a place where riders learn more, safety standards are taught and where the horse is treated as an athlete and taught to be more useful riding horse for his owners.
If you have always wanted to take dressage lessons I will be teaching private and groups weekly. Contact me at cottage37@earthlink.net for details. Auditors will be welcome through-out the summer !
