Welcome

Welcome to the website for the Mackinac Horsemen's Association! We are excited about using this medium for communicating information about who we are and the programs we offer to the Mackinac Island community.

We are always looking for donations and volunteers in support of our programs. Please visit How to Help for more information and to donate on-line!

Please browse our site to meet our horses and to learn more about equestrian issues on our Links page. Enjoy and contribute photos to our Photo Gallery.

Find out when upcoming events such as clinics, lessons, and our Annual Mackinac Island Horse Show take place. You will find a schedule on our Events page.

For those island residents interested in leasing a horse (or half of a horse!), visit our Leasing page. Responsibilites come with leasing a horse and taking lessons. See our Barn Rules page for some guidance in making our program a safe and fun adventure.

The Mackinac Horsemen's Association is governed by a board of directors and administered by Director Leanne Brodeur. We are fortunate to have several very talented instructors teaching our adults and children about horses. Visit our Board & Staff page for more information. We will be posting our regular newsletters on-line soon.
