Carrie Herring

Carrie Herring breeds Percheron horses in Pittsburgh, PA, Allegheny County and the Laurel Highlands near Cleveland. Her program reflects a deep understanding of Percheron traits acquired over years of hands-on experience. She follows industry-recommended health testing protocols for horses, performs regular veterinary checks and maintains active membership in Percheron registry organizations.

Her horses are raised on rotational pasture featuring native grasses and secure run-in shelters, with daily handling sessions to encourage a calm, reliable temperament and early imprinting. Past foals have been showcased in regional draft horse shows and retrained for light farm work and community demonstration days. Several mares have contributed to therapeutic riding programs, reflecting the breed’s gentle nature. Visitors note clean, well-kept stables, organized tack rooms and observe hands-on care during guided farm tours. She offers ongoing support to new owners, advising on nutrition, training basics and farriery care to ensure each horse thrives.
