Michelle Borland
About me
Michelle has been working with horses for over 30 years. She began riding at six years old and became an assistant riding instructor at thirteen. She became a head riding instructor at 17. She rode horses in both 4-H and the United States Pony Club and was fortunate to train with many professionals in English and Western riding.
Most recently, Michelle has been managing the barn at the Bar SZ Ranch where she oversees the care and training of guest trail riding horses. She also enjoys hosting clinics where she teaches guests, students, and 4-H members all about horses and other ranch animals. Additionally, Michelle oversees the care of all boarded horses at the facility.
Keeping horses safe and comfortable is work Michelle and her team take very seriously.

Trip: Animal Feeding Experience

Thank you for your hospitality and education on all the animals. It was exciting to help feed the animals and got to meet twin Sheep that were born 6 hours before our group showed up . I was very happy to experience the serenity, beautiful nature almost forgotten living in the city. Amazing various things to do and nice nature walk paths. I personally want to return on an other vacation trip. I was amazed of the rental home we stayed in, was peaceful and had all the comforts of home. I was amazed of the enormous kitchen and All the amenities provided for the kitchen ware needed. Thank you to each and everyone for all you did to make us welcome.

Michelle was an amazing host, sharing her knowledge about the animals and patience with us as we embarked on our experience. Her and her family's passion shows, and we got to learn about the history of the ranch, the animals, and her story, all while walking throughout the property. Well worth the money!

Trail ride experience was awesome, Michelle and Tim run an awesome ranch up in the mountains. We rode along a trail winding around the mountain with plenty of magnificent views and cows too!

We did the animal feeding experience while staying at the Bar SZ Ranch House. It was really fun especially for all the kids! We got to brush and clean horses, feed the bunnies and walk around the ranch. We also learned about the history of the ranch which was incredibly interesting. The whole property is magical and we hope to come back!
