About Us
Wes Brockbank
(Owner)
Howdy y’all, I’m Wes, owner of Michigan Heritage Horse Farm. I established this farm from a lifelong love of horses and a deep belief in family, hard work, and doing things the right way. I grew up around horses. After retiring from the military it was my dream to spend the rest of my life riding and taking care of horses and being with my family.
Here, horses are cared for with consistency and respect, and people are welcomed like neighbors. Whether you’re boarding, learning to ride, or simply looking for a place that feels grounded and genuine, you’ll find heart behind everything we do.
Michigan Heritage isn’t just about horsemanship — it’s about creating a place where families grow, riders gain confidence, and traditions are carried forward.
Jessica Planck
(Trainer/Lesson Instructor)
It all began with a simple horseback riding summer camp, and Jessica was hooked for life. From a young age, Jessica always had a special connection with animals and wanting to care for them. After attending a few summer horse camps, it was hard to pull this girl out of the barn. Vacations were spent begging to go clean stalls, just so she could be with the horses again. Once she began taking weekly lessons, it quickly became apparent that this was more than just a hobby; it was a lifelong endeavor. Jessica has spent almost 10 years working at various farms to further her education in the equine training process. She started at the bottom doing stalls, but quickly worked her way up to assistant trainer. Guided by world-champion trainers, her natural talent led to many opportunities training and showing green horses, and winning at state and regional shows. She is now following her dreams at Michigan Heritage Horse Farm by establishing the training and lesson programs.
Sadie Ault
(Lesson Instructor)
Sadie's love and passion for animals started at a very young age. She started taking lessons around the age of 5. The following summer, her parents signed her up for a horse camp, and she's been hooked ever since. A few years later, Sadie wanted to deepen her knowledge of horses and got a job at a large Eventing barn, working after school, weekends, and holidays. This was the turning point when she realized she wanted a career revolving around animals. Currently, Sadie is training the first horse she's owned, whom she plans to compete with this summer. Other important plans include attending college with the ultimate goal of getting into vet school this fall!
