What to See and Do in Region 5 - Lansing Saginaw Area

Our nine hole "links style" golf course, The Falcon at Hawk Hollow, provides the perfect blend of challenge and playability for golfers of any skill level. The back tees create demanding shots for the accomplished player, while the forward tees allow less experienced players to enjoy a fine round of golf in a beautiful setting.

We specialize in beginner lessons. We teach everyone how to be safe while riding by understanding the human/horse relationship. From there we build on the body communication with the horse and teach how to ride using your body to guide your horse. All this while using basic Dressage principals.
