The following letter was received about our lesson programs….thank you !!!

Dear Karin and Kate,

Thank you so much for providing the wonderful opportunity for Abby and Anna to learn about horses and riding. Your partnership with the YMCA has enabled us to get involved in a sport we might otherwise not have been able to. Not only is Brek-n-Ridge Farm a stunningly beautiful property and stable, but I can’t express enough how impressed I’ve been with how you interact with my girls. From the beginning, you honed in on each girl’s personality and have connected with each so gracefully. I’ve come to appreciate how riding is more than the word alone implies. You’ve taught Abby and Anna more about confidence, poise, communication, and respect. I especially thank you for that!

We look forward to continuing lessons with you and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you to anyone!

Sincerely, Dana Ashton and Abby and Anna Haney

Get ready for Pony Camp 2012

12 May 2012, 8:20 am

Our goal is to teach the fundamentals of taking care of and riding horses.  We accomplish this through hands-on experience and work/art/study in a safe environment.  This program is available to children 7 – 12 years of age.

All Pony Campers require an advanced  $50.00 non-refundable deposit, payable to

Brek-n-Ridge Farm, 7359 S. Lakeshore Drive, Harbor Springs, MI 49740, attention Kate Etherly.  The balance is due the first day of Pony Camp lessons.  Pony Camp lessons begin in June and run through August, winter holidays and school vacations.

“One of the things we’d like to share with all of you, as the parents of young girls and boys, is that the stable can be a wonderful leadership school.  For example, in our society women and often boys are not always encouraged to participate, speak out or be in charge.  In the barn all those qualities are practiced on a daily basis, perfectly matched with compassion (which is also not always present in other forums for practicing leadership). There is no coincidence that many of the great business leaders in the world have an equestrian background.”

Cost per week $350.00

Schedule your Pony Camp with Kate. Space is limited.

4 Days  per week

Tuesday—Friday

9:00 am—11:30 am

OUR 2012 BROCHURE WITH PRICES AND PROGRAMS WILL BE PUBLISHED  - APRIL 4TH

Brek-n-Ridge Farm is a full service stable that offers boarding, training and horse and rider education.

We are a small, year round facility located in the town of Harbor Springs, Michigan in Northern Michigan.

We offer riding lessons to adults and children, 5 years and up. Our Pony Camps are offered to children 7 years and older.  After school programs can be available for all ages.

We offer a special men and boys program teaching riding for polo enthusiasts, western riders, jumping competitors, learning how to trail ride and trek safely with your friends and family.  Bring your horse or use ours! Reasonable rates and fun experiences. Our lesson horses and instructors are waiting to teach you.

We will offer Pony Camps this summer and winter holidays. Read through our 2012 Summer brochure for more details on our riding programs.

In the winters BreknRidge Farm is open to riders and trainers in small groups from all across the region to work with Karin furthering their dressage careers and obtaining their goals. “The winter time is a perfect time to move your horses up the levels in dressage, to increase the horses physical fitness and to gather around the dinner tables at night to discuss the sport. We are creating a European lifestyle at Brek-n-Ridge where horse people will come to stay for 3 to 5 days or longer in small intimate groups. Brek-n-Ridge is the premiere indoor facility in this region. We have several indoor facilities in our neighborhood that we work with to give our horses experience on other farms.”  Karin continues.” I am confident that we can help make winners in the show arena’s – dressage and jumping, and that is fun work.  The Birchwood Inn is next door to the stables and it is a wonderful getaway and provides the guests with a home away from home. Details regarding hotel etc and directions can be found under CONTACT on this website.

EVERY SATURDAY WE OPEN THE FARM TO RIDERS, THEIR TRAINERS AND HORSES AND WE HOLD A LATE MORNING TO MID-AFTERNOON HORSE SHOW.  CALL TO LET US KNOW YOU WILL BE ATTENDING, YOUR RIDES WILL BE JUDGED IN A “SHOW ENVIRONMENT” EITHER INDOORS OR OUTDOORS WITH UMBRELLAS AND A JUDGES STAND AND A PERSON TO READ THE TEST WILL BE AVAILABLE. Call Kate for details.
