A Note to our Customers

​

We are not responsible for any reservations with entities other than the Mackinac Horsemen's Association. We offer suggestions and recommendations on hotels and ferry transport ONLY.  Due to the Great Lakes weather, ferry transport may be canceled for horses during your travel dates. If canceled, MHA is happy to hold your reservation for a future date of your choice. No refunds will be given due to bad or windy weather. We recommend that you reserve your hotel and ferry accommodations AS SOON AS POSSIBLE to eliminate any travel issues.

​

Please note that we only have 5 stalls available for short-term boarding, if your party requires more space, please contact our facility before beginning the booking process as we might not have enough room for more than 5 horses. Due to our limited space, paddocks are not available to short-term boarders.
