From 30 peaceful acres south of downtown South Bend, we extend an invitation to you to become a part of the Oak Top Hill family. At Oak Top Hill, horses, owners, and riders are all part of a community, a herd you might say. We believe in providing horses and humans alike with not just service, but also love and care.
Wellness
Learning . Living . Loving . This is our mission: to give YOU the opportunity of a life-changing experience like none other.
Horses have an amazing ability to heal, to revitalize, to strengthen, to enlighten, to teach, to challenge, to love. Come and see! Join us for corporate retreats, youth development experiences, personal growth workshops, and mindfulness sessions.

Boarding Services
As an owner, it can be difficult to find your horse a home that is a good fit and a place you can trust. At Oak Top Hill, we want you and your horse to feel at home. We believe in caring not only for their safety and their basic needs, but for their well-being.
“Oak Top Hill has been my horse’s home for 23 years. It has been the ideal place for her to receive quality care from the owner and her family who provide her with a safe and loving environment. Oak Top Hill is well maintained with clean stalls, groomed arenas, beautiful pastures, and updated fencing. I could not find a better place for Katie to spend her senior years.”

Hello!
I’m Rita Lyden - Owner, Manager, Caretaker, and Mother at Oak Top Hill Horse Farm. I’m glad to be able to share my passion with my five kiddos, but I also want to share it with you. Horses are one of God’s greatest gifts to humanity, well, at least in my opinion. Although I have only five children, my family is much bigger than that if you include all the four-legged, fuzzy “babies” in the barn. Together with my team of farm hands, I extend you a warm invitation to join the Oak Top Hill family!
