We know we aren't the cheapest place in town, and we don't try to be. We set our rates so we can offer the absolute best care and personalized attention for you and your horse.
We won't nickel and dime you for everything just to make it look cheaper. We have a professional staff of highly experienced, life-long equestrians. This experience counts in the welfare, health, safety, and success of you and your horse!
Our holistic approach considers training practices, nutrition, turn out, tack fit, vet and farrier care, and every other aspect that goes into the quality of life and welfare of our equine partners. Training goals always consider the health and soundness of the individual equine and care is given to successful, confident, and harmonious communication of the pair.
Our clients tell us that's worth every penny!
We fill stalls based on fit, not on vacancy. If you prioritize quality care, and are passionate about learning and growing with your horse, we want to talk to you!
Unlimited access to quality, locally grown hay, 24/7, both inside and out.
Clients enjoy free auditing to most Willow Ridge sponsored educational events on-stie.
We purposely keep our herd small to ensure excellence in care and individualized attention. We know and love each horse as if they were our own.
We work directly with Caledonia Farmers Elevator & Purina nutritionists to ensure each horses' diet is optimized to the individual. We review and update diets 2x per year to ensure your horses' nutritional needs are always met and managed.
Feeding of owner-provided supplements or routine medications is included.
Currently, Willow Ridge is home to an all-adult ladies group!
Willow Ridge is comfortably set 1/4 mile from the road and offers a peaceful, quiet environment, while being conveniently located just 15 minutes from both Grand Rapids & Holland. We have a small tight-knit group of all-adult women riders who are welcoming and supportive.
Heated lounge with kitchenette and bathroom, as well as a fully insulated stable and indoor arena make year round riding comfortable and enjoyable! We pride ourselves on being one of the cleanest and well-cared for facilities in West Michigan!
We have 13 paddocks, several with run-in shelters, all equipped with automatic Nelson waterers, in addition to several large grass pastures for summer use. Horses are turned out 24/7 in fair weather and brought into assigned stalls when inclement.
Blankets are changed as often as necessary to keep the horses comfortable as weather fluctuates.
No little cubbies here! These lockers are spacious enough to walk into, with ample room for all tack, supplies, and equipment. Each boarder has their own private locker assigned.
Our groomed "Hack Tracks" circle the property and offer a peaceful way to warm up, cool out, or simply enjoy quiet company with your horse!
