Bradley Glover

Bradley Glover and Brian Glover are breeders of Percheron horses in Pikeville, NC, in the Appalachian foothills near Asheville. They have continued a family tradition of horse breeding for more than 25 years, maintaining registration with the Percheron Horse Association and arranging annual veterinary exams and farrier visits for each animal. Their horses live in expansive pastures with sturdy shelters and receive daily handling from foal stage to ensure sound footing and steady temperament.

The farm has hosted local draft horse showcases and therapy demonstrations, and visitors often comment on the calm nature and steady strength of their stock. With attention to conformation and gentle dispositions, they support riders and small farms seeking reliable partners for farm work or leisure rides. These gentle giants reflect the farm’s commitment to healthy, well-socialized animals. Foals are introduced to gentle handling alongside children and barn dogs, helping them develop trust and adaptability for varied settings. The breeders work with the North Carolina Equine Council to stay informed on best practices and welfare standards.
