You don’t have to be a child to appreciate the joys of all things equestrian. From small ponies to towering thoroughbreds, there’s something magical about connecting with a horse. Life in the Motor City doesn’t offer as many opportunities to interact with the animal kingdom as we might like, but there’s a delightful pony farm situated just a stone’s throw from downtown that allows you to spend some quality time with adorable ponies. Get ready for an awesome adventure!
Children’s Pony Ranch sits at 4651 Elizabeth Dr. in Trenton, just 30 minutes from Detroit.
