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.
