Daniel Brown

Daniel Brown and Stephanie Brown are Percheron breeders in Thurmond, NC, in the Blue Ridge Mountains near Asheville. Their program follows standard health screening protocols with regular veterinary evaluations and adheres to guidelines from national draft horse associations.

Each foal grows up in pasture-based herds and receives daily handling to build confidence and a gentle disposition. Horses from the farm have gone on to success in light agricultural work, carriage driving and youth riding programs across the region. Regular turnout and a focus on social enrichment help the horses adapt easily to new environments. They maintain small herd sizes to ensure personalized care, with shelter barns and well-drained paddocks available year round. Young horses are introduced gradually to farm machinery and traffic to ensure calm behavior in diverse settings. A network of trails and open farmland nearby provides a varied training ground that supports physical development.
