JoJo has past experience working on a farm doing ranch work, and driving. She’s been driven single and double and just about anyone can hook her. She’s currently teaching kids and beginner adults how to ride. JoJo is more whoa than go making her the perfect horse to teach those new, unbalanced, and timid riders. If you’re an experienced rider JoJo has lots of potential and talent to excel in whatever direction you want to take her. She’s started over fences, learning the barrel pattern, and learning those fancy buttons like sidepassing/pivoting/collecting. JoJo rides both English and western. She’s extremely comfortable and her breaks are great! A simple whoa is all that’s needed for her to come to a complete stop. JoJo enjoys trail riding and hacking out in the fields. Ride alone or in a group with JoJo. She is not the spooky type and she isn’t one to say no. She’s more than willing to give anything a try. JoJo would make an excellent addition to any lesson program or a 4h/equestrian team show horse. 

This 10 year old Grulla paint gelding is the complete package! Bennie stands a stout well built 14.2hh and is a stunningly marked paint. His coloring is unique and flashy.

Bennie rides both English and Western in any bit or even with just a halter and lead rope. He’s SUPER COMFORTABLE!!!!!!! Bennie is more whoa than go and his breaks are hard to beat. Bennie is also a wonderful trail horse! This boy has spent a lot of time out in the woods. Take him out alone or in a group and he doesn’t mind being out in the lead, in the middle of the group, or bringing up the rear. Bennie doesn’t mind if horses ride up behind him or tightly beside him. He is not the spooky type. Any trees, rocks, logs, tall grass, hills, wildlife, etc. don’t phase Bennie. Bennie has been ridden and driven down busy roads. He is traffic safe! The big semis, lines of cars, load sirens, and horns honking do not bother Bennie one bit. This boy is safe for anybody of any and all levels of riders to hop on. Bennie has had plenty of beginners on him including children and adults. He can take a joke and keeps his rider safe at all times. If he feels his rider losing their balance Bennie halts or goes back to walk. We have recently started him over fences and we are currently using Bennie in our beginner lessons, jump lessons, and beginner barrel lessons. He’s an all-around horse! We have yet to find something that Bennie can’t or won’t do! He’s game for anything we throw at him! Bennie would make a great addition to any family or lesson program! He would also do very well as a 4h or equestrian team horse.

It’s not every day you find a horse like Oak Hills Nell. She is a Friesian (75%) Percheron (25%) mare. Registered with the Friesian Sport Horse Registry. She is sired by none other than Dominator CS who’s by Wander and out of Jania who is sired by wander and out of a percheron mare. She is one of the most stunning horses you will set your eyes on both inside and out. Nell is not only put together as pretty as a picture out of a book but she has the personality to match. She is kind respectful and sensible. Nell stands a solid 17hh at 8 years old. She carries herself with amazing self carriage, balance, grace, and cadence in all of her gaits.  Nell has a quiet drop the reins kind of walk, a stunning but yet smooth trot and a canter you can sit all day long. She takes both leads from the walk and stops on a dime. She has the conformation and movement to excel in any show ring. Nell moves off of seat and leg pressure with ease. Pull the bridle off or drop the reins and you can navigate her just about anywhere you want to go just off of your leg. She aims to please in any situation you put her in. Nell LOVES the trails. We have taken her out alone and in groups and there’s no brush to thick, no water to deep, or hill to steep for her! This girl absolutely loves soaking in the Scenery.  With that being said yes she hauls great. He has seen much of Michigan and Ohios state and metro parks and has been ridden thru some Michigans most beautiful hunt country. Nell is also broke to drive and he dose so with such elegance and class. She looks nothing short of royal while hitched and would make a stellar carriage horse or pleasure driving type. One of her best characteristics is her aptitude towards liberty work. This girl loves it. You can lead her with out so much as a rope climb up on a block and with a simple snap she will steep right in line for you to hop on. She will lay down with a gentle tap of your foot while on her back or while you stand beside her. This feature comes in very handy if you’re out and about and need a fast way to hop on! She will nod her head yes and no and will even sit down. Her personality is unparalleled. Nell has more appealing attributes than I can type up but I encourage you to enjoy the video as she will show you more than I can ever tell you!

Spotted-Draft Colt

Here is a very special girl that we absolutely adore! She was born and raised on our family’s farm. Ember is as sweet as can be and as cute as a button. She is a pure bread section A welsh pony out of imported stock. She will mature at 12.2hh. Ember is 3 years old. She is a pretty chestnut with a white blaze. Ember is a joy to ride and currently working in our lesson program. The kiddos love riding her and is a favorite for many of our students. Ember has a nice quiet walk, a floaty flat kneed trot,  and the most delightful canter. She knows both her leads and has been very lightly started over fences. She rides a snaffle bit and is soft in the mouth and has great breaks! Ember has great ground manners and you can catch her anywhere in the field. We think Ember would make an excellent small hunter pony. In fact, many of her siblings have had very successful careers as hunters on the MHJA and USEF circuits. She would also make a great addition to any lesson program or family pony!

Belgian Draft Mare- Used to pull carriages and heavy equipment. Nothing phases this gorgeous mare!

​This is a hard pony to let leave our farm. Meet Bubblicious or as we call him Bubby! This 5-year-old 13.1hh medium pony gelding is every trainer, kid, and parent's dream. He’s a unique Dun color with some zebra striping on his legs, a dorsal stripe down his back, and the cutest white marking on his face. He has one brown eye and one blue. Bubby has nice solid conformation with good bone and muscle while being refined enough to compete in the best company. He has great feet and is barefoot. Bubby loves people and there’s nothing this boy won’t do for a cookie! He comes right up to you in the field, leads easily for the kids, and ties where ever you tie him. He stands to be groomed, bathed, for the farrier and the vet. He will hop on and off any trailer and the best part is when you arrive at the show you can hop on and he will ride around as though he’s lived at that facility forever. He has zero spook. If you can steer him to the jump he will get you to the other side. On the same note if you can steer him to the corner he will gladly swap his lead for you. He’s a point-and-shoot kind of guy. Bubby is loaded with personality on the ground, making him a favorite. He has spent his summer showing in the short stirrup and novice pony divisions, working summer camp, and hitting the trails. He will ride out in the woods, down the road, and through the fields. He loves an adventure. Bubby is the type to take you from walk trot to the open divisions. He has been ridden by some of the tiniest riders and he knows how to trot like a snail for them but will gladly move out a little more for the bigger kids. He has 3 easy gaits, good breaks, and amazing flying changes. He is only being offered for sale as we do not have a ridder in our barn for him. 

I’m excited to introduce you to Blue Sky or Blue as he is known around the barn. This stunning dappled grey gelding stands 15.2 at 4 years old. Blue is the whole package. He’s the right size, the right color, he’s broke with all the buttons and he’s got a head full of sense. Blue has been in our program for the past 6 months and has exceeded all expectations. He will walk, trot, and canter with ease. His gaits are collected, adjustable and steady. He knows his leads, and even has his flying changes. Blue is so supple he will canter 20 meter circles all day if you want. There’s not an obstacle course this boy can’t conquer. Tarps, traffic, bridges, water, teeter totters, pedestals, opening gaits, he’s done it all. When it comes to liberty work Blue may as well have written the book. He will happily lay down in any soft spot. Sit down for lunch or if he gets a choice he prefers you let him join you on the couch or a recliner. He knows how to say yes, no and he can even count! Once you get to know Blue you won’t need a lead rope or halter to get him to walk, jog and lope around as he follows you on the ground. He knows his name and will come when called.  Blue will build you up every ride, in fact everyone who’s every ridden him can’t help but to smile as he’s so much fun! Blue can be ridden both English and Western or completely tackless. You can pull the bridle right off and walk, trot, canter, stop, back, Jump and even doing flying changes just off of your seat and voice. Blue is the happy go lucky type who never has a bad day, and finding something to spook him has been near impossible. He has been out in deep woods, wide open fields and down main roads. He’s worked on the farm moving cows and has been roped off of. He’s taken the kids sledding on snowy days. He stands tied anywhere you ask him. His manners are A+. This boy also jumps around like a well seasoned hunter holding a steady pace and snapping his knees up every time. Blue is also well broke to drive he has been in several holiday parades and is 100% ok with city work. I am so proud to offer this boy for sale. He will make a perfect addition to a wide variety of homes.

Meet Robert aka Bob. This boy may as well be owned by Disney as he is every bit as majestic and royal as the horses you see in the movies. Bob stands a solid 16.3hh with strong bones and sturdy conformation. He’s covered head to toe in deep beautiful dapples and has a Snow White mane and tail. Bob is 25% Spanish Norm and 75% Percheron. He is Sired by Glossos Valentino and his momma is a Percheron. Bob is 9 Years old. This horse is as sensible as the day is long, in absolutely every aspect. He trail rides in a group or will gladly venture out alone. He’s quiet and steady moving. He will walk along and soak in the views or he will move out into a trot or one of the most rhythmical canters you will find on a horse of his size. He is 100% ok with wildlife, woods, water, traffic, bikes and even a random smoke bomb if you happen to come across one. You won’t find an obstacle that will phase him. He has also been ridden in the arena and he has great self carriage and will make all the circles as round and supple as you ask of him. We think he would be a stellar hunt horse, or low level dressage mount. He moves off seat and leg beautifully. Bob also has an extensive resume in harness, he’s pulled a Cinderella carriage, and a visa via thru busy cities, parades, weddings and princess parties. I want you to pay attention in the video we show a 6 year old holding the lines. He is absolutely the type to teach you how to drive or the type to hook up a couple times a year and take out for fun. Bob has also taught many beginner riding lessons. He’s ok with the bigger riders with no balance and will also take care of the little kids. He has been ridden in parades and carried a flag as well. This is a very hard horse to sell as he’s near to impossible to replace. If sales were not a big part of our program this boy would never leave. I can’t say enough about him. So I’ll let him Continue telling his story as it’s well demonstrated in his video!
