Chippewa Acres

Chippewa Acres specializes in Icelandic horses in Dewitt, Michigan, situated in the Mid-Michigan region near Lansing. Owner Kristina Simmons has over a decade of experience, holds membership in the Icelandic Horse Association, and follows breed council guidelines. The farm operates from a historic barn dating back to the late 19th century, with breeding stock registered and receiving regular veterinary care including hoof trimming and dental checks.

Foals receive early handling and positive socialization, while adults enjoy balanced diets tailored to their feeding needs. Horses live on expansive pastures with access to sheltered paddocks, and daily turnout fosters natural herd interactions. Chippewa Acres follows a low-stress training approach emphasizing positive reinforcement and gradual exposure to new environments.

A recent visitor noted the farm’s welcoming atmosphere and the supple movement of young horses during spring evaluations. Each horse is raised with a focus on sound conformation and steady temperament suitable for trail riding or competitive programming.
