Peace Of Serenity Ranch

Peace Of Serenity Ranch breeds Gypsy vanner horses in Delton, MI, in central Michigan near Lansing. The ranch owner, Kathy Slagter, follows breed club guidelines and schedules regular health screenings with a licensed equine veterinarian. She maintains membership in the Gypsy Vanner Horse Society and attends local shows to support breed preservation. Foals and breeding stock live in pasture-based paddocks with daily turnout and gentle handling from weaning onward. The barn provides clean, sheltered stalls for mares at foaling, with round-the-clock observation to ensure their safety.

The family-run operation spans rolling fields that mirror historic Michigan farmland, creating a calm setting for early training and socialization. Visitors can tour the facilities by appointment and observe foal handling or young horse groundwork sessions in the ranch barn, with tours limited to small groups to maintain a quiet environment. Horse owners appreciate the ranch’s attention to balanced bloodlines and patient introduction to groundwork.
