I enjoyed attending a USDF L Program clinic at this beautiful facility. They have a gorgeous barn & a massive double length indoor arena. I can't wait to attend a dressage show here!

This facility is gorgeous. The nicest one I've ever been in.

I was here for a horse vaulting competition and it was absolutely amazing

We drove up for the Winter Jumper Series. Everything was extremely clean, very organized, and time efficient. The EQ Team members were very sweet and fun to work with. Carolyn in the show office is a true gem❤️ My young OTTB was there for experience only, and we were allowed to trot around the course so she could see the true scope of her new job. That was kind of the staff, and they made it fun by announcing us and clapping so she got the Whole Experience 😆 We will be back next year, ready to compete!

As a trainer with over 20 years exp working with youth riders I have never seen such lack of organization, unprofessionalism, disregard for student and horse safety and lack of ethics than what happened to my daughter and her horse while boarded at Albion. The barn managements repeated lack of show standard operating procedure knowledge was absolutely mind blowing. Repeated refusal to engage in healthy dialogue regarding explanations in regards to lack of staff training was unacceptable. Repeated requests to be contacted by upper management with actual solutions to lack of hunt seat coach, dressage club and coach as well as no prior explanation of barn hours (barn closes at 7p they feed at 5p, most students don’t get out of class until 4:15) that do not work with students taking full course schedule while requiring unreal expectations out of full board clientele was overwhelming. At $675 a month I would expect a facility to know how to properly turn out horses, feed supplements, work with horses under 10 years old, provide knowledgeable instructors, understand what it means to have horses on full care as clearly stated in THEIR board contracts and have the programs in place for our students they are promoting at college fairs and state events. Any parent considering this private university at 67,000 a year for a serious show student buyer beware.

I am an Albion College alumna and now adult community member. I boarded my horse at this facility as a student years ago. When we came back to the area years later to settle into my career and new home, my horse was more than happy to move back into his "college barn." Peanut is so content and healthy at this facility. He loves his large stall with the Nelson automatic waterer, large paddocks (including all-season), European walkers, large indoor, and his favorite feature - the 340 beautiful acres to hack around.

The staff is very friendly and helpful and the students are a real joy to be around. I especially appreciated the strict COVID guidelines both Albion College and the Equestrian Center put into to place to keep everyone safe and healthy during the pandemic.

Very nice facility they are always improving.. To bad they went downhill with that western trainer though. Abusive!
