Cutler Baynes

Cutler Baynes breeds Percheron horses in Mineral, VA, in the Shenandoah Valley near Harrisonburg. Cutler Baynes has participated in national draft horse registry programs and follows established health screening, preventive vaccination, and farrier visit protocols. Its horses are raised with daily turnout, balanced nutrition, and gentle handling from foalhood to support temperament and soundness.

Cutler Baynes operates a small family farm where each foal is introduced to light draft work and hand-trained to reflect the region’s farming heritage. Stalls are bedded with straw in open barns overlooking rolling pastures. Breeding stock undergoes regular veterinary dental exams, biannual farrier visits, and thorough health evaluations to ensure sound feet and overall well-being. Foals remain under close supervision during weaning and are introduced to basic harness work by six months of age. The farm's location on fertile pastures supports rotational grazing, which contributes to the horses' robust development.
