Bruce Alexander Jr and Hope Ricker, Percheron horse breeders in Gardiner, ME, are located in Kennebec County and central Maine near Augusta. They maintain records with the American Percheron Horse Association and follow recommended health-screening protocols for soundness, temperament, and conformation, while their participation in local agricultural exhibitions offers informal feedback on training and build.

Their Percherons graze on mixed grass pastures, enjoy daily handling from an early age, and move freely between stalls and shelters designed for comfort in all seasons. A family-run farm dating back three generations lends continuity to the breeding program, where gentle guidance shapes each foal’s character alongside close socialization with older horses and senior broodmares. Hands-on farrier care and regular veterinary checkups are part of their routine, ensuring each horse meets well-being standards from birth onward. Prospective owners note the sturdy build, measured demeanor, and consistent temperament of the young stock, reflecting a breeding philosophy rooted in sustainable growth and steady development.
