Mike Slomkowski

Michael Slomkowski, or, as he is lovingly referred to, Mr. Mike, was born in Saginaw Michigan with a love and passion for the Morgan horse breed. He started showing horses competitively at the age of fourteen and started training horses professionally at sixteen.

He met his late wife and co-founder of Showcase Stables, Ann Slomkowski, in 1982 and were married a year later. They moved to the South Lyon/Northville area in 1984 and founded Showcase that same year.

Ann and Michael pride themselves on specializing in the park, pleasure, and in-hand divisions. Miss Ann had the honor of coaching The Morgan Horse Association’s first saddle-seat equation team and Mr Mike the third coach for said team. Together they have trained numerous World Champions.

Mr. Mike now considers himself “semi-retired” and oversees the barn as the Barn Manager and can be found teaching advanced lessons. Mr. Mike says “Full-time retirement is not an option when you’re doing something you love” (Source)
