Home / Do on Mackinac Island / All Things Horses
A narrated, horse-drawn carriage tour is the iconic Mackinac Island activity. Yet, it’s just one of many equine activities to enjoy in a land that has been car-free forever. You can go horseback riding on a guided or unguided tour, rent a private carriage for an intimate ride, even drive your own horse and buggy! Or you can visit with the horses in the barn and find a new friend. Plus, Mackinac Island is home to two museums showcasing antique carriages.

20 years of not only love, but of being the absolute best example of true love & what being a partner should be like. Two people that were just totally meant to be. Two incredible humans finding each other even after being through some of the toughest battles. Two people so in love that nothing stops them from following their dreams & accomplishing their goals. I can’t thank these two enough for everything, truly. They have made me who I am today, have pushed & supported me to follow my dreams, & have showed me unconditional love every minute of everyday. My parents are my muse. They’re a real life fairytale, like the ones you see in the movies & I’m just lucky enough to get a front row show. I’ll never forget the first date with us kids 23 years ago. That day just might be one of my favorites. The day my mom fell in love with her forever person & the day I gained the most incredible man in my life that I’m blessed to call my dad. I can’t wait to have them back with me in a few weeks for the season & to capture their love story for another year on Mackinac. Join me in wishing these two love birds a very Happy 20th Wedding Anniversary. Happy Anniversary, I love you both forever & always.🖤
