Shenanigans Farm’s owner, Mary McKiernan, has more than 30 years of experience working with horses. But she has also tamed an even wilder beast: eighth-grade students. As a middle-school teacher, she learned to work with each student at his or her own pace, a philosophy she transfers to horseback-riding lessons. Joined by assistant head trainer, Ricci Tarockoff, she teaches English-style riding to students of all skill levels.

Set on 62 rolling acres, Shenanigans Farm connects to the Metamora Hunt trail, offering myriad opportunities for scenic trail rides. Its horses graze in expansive pastures and paddocks, waiting for students to saddle them to trot around the large indoor or outdoor arenas. The farm maintains a family-oriented vibe, often hosting summer camps for boys and girls, Halloween parties, and costume contests to see who can dress as the most convincing bale of hay.

Scrubbers Self-Serve Dog Wash & Grooming owner Nikki Budaj realized her passion for animal care when she began fostering dogs and cats in college. This pursuit prompted her to seek more in-depth pet health and hygiene advice from veterinarians and other groomers, which she now dispenses from her own grooming center. Her team of careful staffers hand-grooms dogs and cats of all sizes or gives owners free reign of the self-service facilities to beautify their furry companions. Using waist-high bathtubs and hydraulic grooming tables, staff and visitors are able to clean their four-legged companions with a range of supplied and upgradable shampoos, conditioners, and rinses such as Tropiclean and Top Performance. The cleaning-center staff also performs de-shedding services or fur and nail trims to keep animals well manicured, and forced-air drying is available to gently slough off excess water and recreate the feeling of sticking one’s head out of a car window.

Copperbeech Farm trots out friendly steeds for kids' riding lessons at a 32-acre equestrian estate. During riding lessons, groups of six to eight beginning riders aged 5–18 learn the fundamentals of riding and horse handling from two expert equestrians on indoor and outdoor tracks. More advanced Saddle Club sessions help experienced riders to build on basic skills in english riding style. In addition, summer camps for kids aged 5–18 combine horse training with craft projects, camp outs, and opportunities to organize other farm animals, including potbellied pigs, chickens, and ducks, into spontaneous performances of "Old MacDonald.

At Bubbles N' Barks, owner Louis George leads his caring staff in glamorizing dogs of all shapes, stripes, and sizes with thorough grooming services. Pint-sized Pomeranians and regal golden retrievers alike emerge from baths with clipped nails, pristine fur, and clean ears with a renewed appreciation for dog whistle symphonies. Alternatively, owners can soak pets themselves with Bubbles N' Barks' do-it-yourself dog-washing stations. The shop's line of branded shirts, hoodies, and hats keeps human patrons looking as sharp as their pup compatriots.

After years focused on human health and nutrition while working in the grocery business, Ray Hesano grew frustrated that he couldn’t find similarly wholesome food for his pets. Today, his partner and nephew Mike Palmer fills Premier Pet Supply’s shelves with the same natural and holistic pet food that once eluded him. The store’s ample selection—which has been lauded by Hour Detroit magazine, CityVoters, and Click On Detroit—includes more than 65 varieties of dog food and 75 brands of treats from brands such as Canine Caviar, Zuke’s, and Charlee Bear. Cat food from Natural Balance, Primal Frozen Raw, and dozens more brands imbues felines with the energy to paw, climb, and glare at the store’s array of toys and furniture. Food for other animals, from hamsters to fish and deer, keeps every menagerie sated.

Premier Pet Supply takes care of humans as well, hosting annual customer-appreciation days that treat them to discounts, magic acts, and photo booths. In addition, with help from rescue groups, the store has matched more than 4,000 adoptable dogs and cats with happy new homes.
