Testimonials "All of HighPointe is entirely remarkable: kind, inclusive, safe, encouraging. Our little girl has been riding here since age 3 after being with another stable previously. The loves she gets from HighPointe, and the incredible strength and pride she feels as she continues to do hard things, are priceless. We love HighPointe!" - Ashley Foster (East Grand Rapids) "We had our daughter's 5th birthday party at HighPointe and it was THE BEST PARTY ever!! Jill told me I didn't have to do anything- and I really didn't! We showed up and the party room far exceeded our wildest imagination. It was classy and beautiful and perfect for our occasion. I had seen photos of moms who had come and did tons of their own decorations but I just didn't have the time and it was still absolutely perfect. The kids loved every minute and even though the temps were a little chilly the party room was so warm and inviting with a blazing fire and hot chocolate for the kids and coffee for the parents. The cake was so cute and tasted amazing and the staff was kind and so welcoming for our guests. Our family had the best time and were blown away by the views, how every detail was attended to, and how we felt like we were at a boutique country club...not a BARN! I would recommend HighPointe Birthday Parties to anyone considering a farm party! My daughter isn't even a crazy horse lover and months later she is still talking about it and can't wait to come back!" - Brooke Staller (Rockford, Michigan) Jill is so kind and her focus is on educating and empowering her students. My daughter has grown and blossomed under her and all her instructors at HighPointe Farm. - Lisa Rewa (Ada, Michigan) "My daughter had spent years asking to take horse lessons, and we just kept saying no. We didn’t know much about the horse world and thought it seemed like a huge commitment. As a result, she tried multiple other sports, but just didn’t have a huge passion for anything. One summer, she asked if instead of horse lessons she could try a horse camp. We agreed and did a quick google search and found High Pointe Farms Summer Camps. She went in August for a week and was the happiest girl in the world. We realized her passion really was horses and contacted the owner about lessons. That was two summers ago and now she takes weekly lessons, with the hopes of doing shows this year. As non-horse people, the owners welcomed us with open arms and helped us understand expectations. The culture and love the owners have for building up the children’s self esteem, team work, and kindness towards animals and each other is something we are beyond grateful for. We highly recommend High Pointe Farms for camps, lessons, parties, and rides….they are truly a gift to the community!" -Mary May (Rockford, MI) We just moved to the area and someone at our tennis club told us their child rides at HighPointe Farm so we decided to check it out. My wife and I don't know anything about horses but our daughter loves animals and we thought it might be a good fit for her. We came out to the farm once and were blown away by the beauty of it all. We were able to sit outside on comfy chairs and enjoy the view while watching her ride. She now enjoys weekly lessons and we enjoy the luxury of not having to stay in the winter time and just dropping and going! However, 3 seasons out of the year HighPointe Farm is one of our very favorite places to be and we are so thrilled that such a gem is in our community. They are welcoming and kind and embody all of the characters we want our child to be around... a place like this is hard to find and having lived all over the country we can tell you that it is a rare and precious find! Highly RECOMMEND this farm to anyone who wants their child in a safe, loving environment where they will learn more than just horses. - Sam Jones (Ada, Mi) For the last six years, my daughters have called HighPointe their home. Not only have my girls grown in confidence and self-esteem, but they have also learned lessons that will last a lifetime. They have learned the skills of showmanship, what it means to work hard, determination, and even how to handle the first loss of a horse that held their hearts. Whether they are emptying frozen water pails in below zero temps or mucking stalls in 95 degree heat, they have learned to appreciate the amount of work it takes to ride and care for these beautiful animals and always love working around the farm. Jill is a knowledgeable and talented trainer. She is an irreplaceable mentor to my girls. She encourages the girls to learn from every situation life presents. She has taught them how to pick themselves up when they fall, and how to come back more determined than before. Jill has shared joys and tears, successes, and failures. Jill is truly a gift to my children. Our family is forever grateful for the selfless time and energy the Herweyer family has put into making Highpointe feel like home! -Kari Bierens- Belmont, Michigan
