Stoney Creek

Stoney Creek is a Percheron breeder in Hastings, MI, Barry County near Grand Rapids. Their program follows national equine association guidelines with regular health screenings for fertility, conformation, and soundness. Animals are raised on rolling pastures, where they develop sturdy muscling and calm temperaments through daily turnout and gentle handling.

Lloyd Kilmer and Dawn Kilmer oversee all aspects of care on their family farm, ensuring young stock receives early socialization both in groups and under saddle. Many of their horses excel in draft shows and light driving events, reflecting a balanced approach between tradition and thoughtful breeding. Prospective owners often note the consistent health and even temperament in the foals, traits that have defined Stoney Creek’s reputation over the years.

Their feeding program relies on forage-based rations supplemented with mineral analysis to support growth and coat condition. Adults enjoy large barn stalls with open access to paddocks during mild weather and shaded paddocks in summer.
