Brilliant Reflection Farm

Ortonville, MI

We are located in Ortonville, Michigan, north of Detroit and south of Flint convenient to Interstate 75, US 23 and Interstate 69. The farm is set on 12.5 acres of rolling hills and backs up to the Holly Recreation Area.

We cater to riders of all levels who want to bond with their horses and form a partnership, regardless of discipline. We encourage this by allowing horse and rider to progress up the classical dressage training scale.
