Enjoy beautiful northern Michigan on horseback at Liberty Valley Ranch in Gaylord, Michigan. Miles of scenic wooded trails with state forests and lakes to enjoy. If you want a quiet relaxing ride while you watch for deer and other woodland critters, or if you want a more energetic ride for the adventurous folks, you'll find it at Liberty Valley Ranch. Beginners to experienced riders and groups of any size are all welcome at our ranch. Letting families and groups enjoy horses together is one of our goals. So, we are happy to include children on the trail ride. One of our staff will hand-lead the younger/inexperienced children right along with the rest of your group.
