Big Horse Ranch

Big Horse Ranch is a Percheron horse breeder in Ocala, FL, located in Marion County in north central Florida near Jacksonville. It has been breeding draft horses for over fifteen years and holds memberships with national equine associations, and each horse is subject to regular veterinarian screenings and genetic health tests. Their horses start life in open paddocks and enjoy daily turnout on well-drained pastures, with foals receiving gentle handling from the first week to support calm temperaments.

The ranch emphasizes transparent care practices and maintains covered stalls and spacious runs that allow horses to socialize. A climate-controlled barn offers individual stalls and a tack room that hosts monthly workshops on draft horse care. Owners raise breeding stock descended from European bloodlines, and several have earned regional show ribbons. Guests often note the ranch’s relaxed pace and knowledgeable staff, reflecting a commitment to responsible breeding and lifetime welfare for every Percheron.
