Thank You for making this year’s Zoo Boo a HUGE Success!

Our Zoo Boo this year had record attendance thanks to our sponsor’s support and our Zoo visitors!

Hundreds of children were able to attend a safe and free trick-or-treat event and visit with our animals at the same time.

Proceeds from our Zoo Boo each year help with heating, electrical needs and, of course, feed for our animals for the winter.

We thank our sponsors whole-heartedly for their support!

Reserve Your Spot for the 2012 Team!

No Horse Needed!

Call us for more information

Pictured: Sarah Vander Kooy (heading) and Luke Vander Kooy (heeling)

IEA is a national organization modeled after the IHSA program hosted by colleges and universities around the country. High school and Middle school riders compete with the opportunity to compete at regional and national competitions.

Students can win prizes and scholarships. The 2008 National Finals had more than $125,000 of scholarship money granted to IEA riders.

At IEA competitions, riders do not supply their own horses or tack. The horses, saddle and other tack are all provided to the riders at the show. Essentially, the horse is new to the rider, and the scores are based upon horsemanship and equitation, not the horse. IEA is open to riders grades 6-12 at any riding level. Give us a call to be part of the team! You don’t have to board here to join.

Help Us Help Texas Wildfire Victims!

We will be at the Novi Equestrian Expo accepting donations of good used tack to aid the horse owners that were devastated by wildfires in Texas
