Aideen Siniscalco

Aideen Siniscalco and Bret Siniscalco, percheron breeders in Waterford, CT, are located in southeastern Connecticut near Hartford. They have been dedicated to breeding percherons for over a decade and maintain membership in the American Percheron Horse Association, with routine health testing for metabolic and orthopedic conditions.

They focus on pasture-based care and early handling, allowing foals to develop within a small family herd and spend time in training paddocks adjacent to the barn. Each young horse is handled daily from its first week, encouraging confidence and adaptability. Many of their young percherons have gone on to local plowing contests and therapy programs that highlight the breed’s gentle strength.

Their farm sits among rolling pastures along a fresh-water creek, providing horses with ample room to roam. The Siniscalcos offer a glimpse into daily routines that balance tradition with consistent, hands-on engagement. They pasture a small herd of mares, stallions, and foals on land that is monitored year-round for safety.
