Aleeri Veurink

Aleeri Veurink breeds Shire horses in Princeton, MN, in central Minnesota near Minneapolis. With over a decade of experience, she maintains affiliations with draft horse associations and ensures that all horses undergo regular veterinary care, including Coggins testing, deworming and farrier visits. Her farm follows rotational grazing practices on fertile pastures and provides spacious indoor shelter with heated stalls during winter.

Foals are handled from birth to foster confidence and calm temperaments and join the adult herd for daily turnout, learning gentle herd dynamics alongside attentive human interaction. Several of her Shire horses have been featured in county fair draft horse competitions and plowing demonstrations, a testament to her patient training style. Aleeri’s approach emphasizes balanced nutrition, hands-on handling and exposure to farm routines, helping each horse develop both strength and a steady temperament. A few have partnered with local agriculture therapy programs, admired for their gentle presence and steady disposition.
