Windermere Equestrian Center, Inc. 20615 Dunham Road, Clinton Township, MI 48038

"We have been coming here for over five years for riding lessons. The instructors are the best around and they are building a new structure. I highly recommend."

"My girls had a great time with thier Girl Scout troop. Learned a lot."

"My daughter began riding at Windermere through their Pony Pals program when she was 5 and also took private lessons before she had the opportunity to ride a privately owned pony at another barn for a few years. After 3 years, we decided to return to Windermere because of the friendly atmosphere, the large schooling program, the quality of instruction, the opportunity to show, and the ability to participate around the farm and to get to know the staff and clients. This is a real working farm, it’s not “fancy”, yet the horses are well cared for and much loved. The staff work hard every day to make lessons, training, shows, and more happen for their clients. The instructors teach with a mindset of safety first, and that to be a good rider, you must also work on the ground as well as mounted. They will encourage you and give praise when they see progress, help you understand what you’re doing incorrectly, and don’t let students engage in dangerous behavior. We are so happy that we made the decision to return to Windermere over a year ago, and my young rider has made a lot of progress and many friends. She loves going to the barn, and so do her Dad and I. Thank you Jen and the rest of the Windermere team for all your efforts to make equestrian sports fun and safe!"

"I took my Granddaughter here for lessons and was impressed! Emma was her instructor, she was very attentive and engaged! The grounds are nice, the attitude is friendly and welcoming. Look forward to coming back!!"

"Windermere is the best place ever! First of all, there is a great, kind community formed here with coaches and kids alike! Secondly, the instructors are amazing teachers! My instructor (Mrs. Jen) has gotten me over anxiety of jumping and gives great analogies about riding so you can really apply what she’s saying to your body. Mrs. Jen adapts her teaching each and ever time you ride depending on the circumstances. She never “screams” like people reviewed. She may make her voice louder so you can hear her 100 ft. away but that’s expected! I can tell from the other reviews that the kids and adults did not know how barns work. Mrs. Jen is just trying to keep everyone safe. She works so hard and doesn’t take vacations or holidays off. If she isn’t teaching she’s in the office working. Mrs.Jen looks out for safety of all the horses and people. All of the instructors are great with horses and teaching. The horses are very trained and we have a horse for every riding level from your first day to 10 years of riding! Windermere is such a great place to learn horsemanship and to track how far you’ve come. I love this place and wouldn’t of chosen any other place to ride at!"
