Any recommendations for my summer holiday please :)
  • My brother and his family have moved to Detroit and I'm kind of thinking about visiting for a couple of weeks this summer. Possibly end of June/ beginning of July depending on my work commitments and flight (I'm in the UK).

    Although the trip will be so I can spend time with them, I'd like to make it a bit of an adventure/ experience too and really fancy seeing and trying out some American horsey stuff.

    I own a Warmblood and do dressage over here but really fancy trying out Western and some of the American breeds with maybe a day or so of trail riding or similar.

    Not sure where any of you USA players are based but thought I'd ask you if you had any recommendations of what I could do if I come over. (brother lives Plymouth/ Canton).
  • I can't recommend any horsey stuff in that part of the country, but if you like roller coasters, there's an amazing park called Ceder Point a couple of hours away. It's definitely an experience!

  • I live in Green Bay, WI across the lake from Detroit! I don't know of any places in MI, WrittenInTheStars is from there, and I know she trained dressage there too, not by Detroit though. I'm sure there are places that can do "trail rides" through the forests up there, basically they throw you on a dead head horse and lead you through the forest, it's really not too fun to someone that actually rides. If you can, try going to the UP and exploring over there, it's wild and beautiful! If you can, come and see Wisconsin, the Nicolet national forest is absolutely stunning, and I think there might be some places there you can rent a horse.

    If you wanna get REALLY western, go to Montana lol.

    If you do come to WI, I might be able to let you try my morgan gelding if you want to come to Green Bay (And I'm free that day), there are some nice trails at my barn, but you'll have to pay for a "lesson" to ride.

  • Come see us! We're near Louisville, KY
    Go boldly, where no App has gone before!

  • Going to have to get the map out and check where all these places are.
    Ichigo thank you for all your suggestions, I have looked at a ranch in Montana and was tempted. Trouble is I'd like to spend as much time with my bro and his gang as possible and travelling that distance will seriously eat into my time.

    SSF lol roller coasters are not my thing at all.

    Kat, I already planned on trying to meet up if I do head over :)
  • I from Novi Michigan! About 15 minutes away from Plymouth :). Sadly, there aren't very many 'touristy' horse things to do here besides lessons, and maybe a boring (for actual riders) trail ride through some trees. I'll PM you if I can think of anything else haha.
  • Yes! Even if we don't get to see you, it should be a fun trip!
    Go boldly, where no App has gone before!
  • It's kind of a long ways away, but go to Kentucky and go to Kentucky Horse Park.
