Oak Bay Acres

Oak Bay Acres, miniature horses, Canby, OR, is set in the Willamette Valley near Portland. Owner Sheryl Peterson has bred miniature horses for over a decade, maintaining registration with national equine associations and prioritizing regular health screening.

Each foal grows up in a pasture environment, learning to interact with adult horses and daily human visitors to support early socialization. They provide access to hand-built run-ins for shade and customized feeding plans based on regular veterinary guidance. A family-run farm, Oak Bay Acres balances traditional equine care with ongoing education in equine welfare practices.

Several Oak Bay Acres horses have excelled in local show circuits, reflecting the farm’s patient approach and attention to temperament. Foals receive early handling and foundational training, and the breeder offers resources on hoof care and nutrition for new owners. Future owners receive a comprehensive handbook covering breed characteristics, training tips and seasonal care.
